Sure, PCI busses are little-endian. But is readX()/writeX() for PCI

Yes.
For other buses, use foo_writel(), etc.
Can this please be documented then? Never heard this before...
You have come late to the party.
WHat do you mean here? Could you please explain?
This has been the case for many, many years.
No, it was never documented AFAICS.
A de facto standard does not need to be documented, to be a de facto
standard.
A lot of Linux "standards" are often based on emails from Linus buried
halfway down a thread. A decision gets made, and people follow.
And there is no point in a massive rename to pci_writel(), either.
That would be really inconvenient, sure. It's also inconvenient
that all the nice short names are PCI-only.
Only to you, a decided minority of developers.
