Subject: powerpc/powernv: Fix endian bug in LPC bus debugfs accessors
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>
commit bf7588a0859580a45c63cb082825d77c13eca357 upstream.
When reading from the LPC, the OPAL FW calls return the value via pointer
to a uint32_t which is always returned big endian. Our internal inb/outb
implementation byteswaps that fine but our debugfs code is still broken.
