Also, they're altera specific, so altr, prefix should be added.
In general, I think if bit reversal is required, it would be required in both directions. However, anything is possible when using FPGAs. So I thought separate booleans would be future proofing the bindings. Thinking about this binding more, I wonder if the binding name(s) should be (read|write)-bit8-reverse to indicate reversings the bits in a byte as opposed to reversing the bits in a 32 bit word? I don't think bit reversal is specific to Altera/Intel components. I see a nand driver performing bit reversal, and I think I've recently seen other FPGA based drivers requiring bit reversal.
