The AVR32 and ARM (AT91) architectures share a number of drivers which need to access the on chip peripherals. The current drivers work with the default endian configuration, however it is possilbe to run some of the ATMEL ARM architectures in big endian mode. If we change the drivers from __raw to _relaxed IO accesors then the ARM side works but the AVR32 will not. The _relaxed assume the bus is little endian and the __raw are native. The AVR32 is native big endian so these are not the right functions. To sort this out, and avoid a number of drivers having #ifdef for the AVR32 case we add <linux/atmel_io.h> to provide some AT91/AVR32 independant IO accessor functions. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <redacted>Acked-by: Hans-Christian Egtvedt <redacted>Is there any reason why read/write[bwl]_relaxed can't be made to do big endian accesses on avr32?
read/write[bwl]* are defined to be little endian accessors - they have their roots in PCI. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
