Hi!
From: Mathieu Othacehe m.othacehe@gmail.com
commit 18dfb5326370991c81a6d1ed6d1aeee055cb8c05 upstream.
The bytes returned by the i2c reading need to be swapped unconditionally. Otherwise, on be16 platforms, an incorrect value will be returned.
Taking the slow path via next merge window as its been around a while and we have a patch set dependent on this which would be held up.
Is there some explanation how this is correct Somewhere? I assume i2c hardware has fixed endianity (not depending on CPU), so unconditional swapping will cause problems either on le or on be machines...?
Best regards, Pavel
