So now setbits32/clrbits32 is implicitly little-endian?  Introducing new
implicit-endian accessors is probably a bad thing in general, but doing it
with a name that until this patchset was implicitly big-endian (at least on
powerpc) seems worse.  Why not setbits32_le()?
I believed that writel/readl was endian agnostic, but It seems that I was wrong.
So I will use _le32.

What's the use case for setclrbits?  I don't see it used anywhere in this
patchset (not even in the coccinelle patterns), it doesn't seem like it would
be a common pattern, and it could easily get confused with clrsetbits.
It is absent from the coccinelle script due to copy/paste error.
And absent from patchset since it is only two possible example that I can test.

If you run the next fixed coccinelle script, you will find some setclrbits.
Since I fear that mask and set could have some common bits sometimes, I prefer to keep separate clrsetbits and setclrbits.
