Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The commit 3b8a3c010969 ("powerpc/pseries: Fix endiannes issue in RTAS
call from xmon") was fixing an endianness issue in the call made from
xmon to RTAS.

However, as Michael Ellerman noticed, this fix was not complete, the
token value was not byte swapped. This lead to call an unexpected and
most of the time unexisting RTAS function, which is silently ignored
by RTAS.

This fix addresses this hole.
