Not even trying to support LE is a clear merge blocker.  Maybe Krzysztof
can't actually test it himself, which is fine - but not even pretending
to be endian clean is not what proper Linux drivers do.
The drivers can only work with IXP4xx CPU and that's not the typical
endianess problem cross-platform drivers sometimes have.

There is different functionality required with LE mode, unless some
other arch changes are implemented (which I'm now researching, if
I have some time of course).
