[ARM] 3089/1: ixp4xx AHB/PCI endianness fix
Patch from Alessandro Zummo This patch fixes AHB/PCI endianness problems when the processor is in little-endian mode. The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19. According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian. The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus. A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX can be found in [1], page 18. The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in both LE and BE modes. The author is Peter Korsgaard.
