The chip itself wants little-endian data, and only uses 32bit
DMA.  But there's no "32bit dma address" type ... :(

Changing that type for sparse sounds better to me, so it works
on a big-endian 64bit CPU as well as just fixing the warning.
Do you want me to make those changes?

One of these moments I really should install "sparse".

Looks OK, at least if you ignore the fact that it'll print out
byteswapped on big-endian ... I'm told the driver does
work OK on PPC32, though.
