On many MIPS systems the endianness of IP blocks is kept the same as
that of the CPU by the hardware. This includes the system controllers
on these systems which are controlled via syscon which uses the regmap
API which used readl() and writel() to interact with the hardware,
meaning that all writes are converted to little endian when writing to
the hardware. This caused a bad interaction with the regmap core in big
endian mode since it was not aware of the byte swapping and so ended up
performing little endian writes.
Unfortunately when this issue was noticed it was addressed by updating
the DT for the affected devices to specify them as little endian. This
happened to work since it resulted in two endianness swaps which
cancelled each other out and gave little endian behaviour but meant that
the DT was clearly not accurately describing the hardware.
The intention of commit 29bb45f25f (regmap-mmio: Use native
endianness for read/write) was to fix this by making regmap default to
native endianness but this breaks most other MMIO users where the
hardware has a fixed endianness and the implementation uses the __raw
accessors which are not intended to be used outside of architecture
code. Instead use the newly added native-endian DT property to say
exactly what we want for these systems.

The regmap API has an endianness setting for formatting reads and writes.
This can be set by the usual DT "little-endian" and "big-endian" properties.
To work properly the associated regmap_bus needs to read/write in native
endian.
The "syscon" DT device binding creates an mmio-based regmap_bus which
performs all reads/writes as little-endian. These values are then converted
again by regmap, which means that all of the MIPS BCM boards (which are
big-endian) have been declared as "little-endian" to get regmap to convert
them back to big-endian.
Modify regmap-mmio to use the native-endian functions __raw_read*() and
__raw_write*() instead of the little-endian functions read*() and
write*().
Modify the big-endian MIPS BCM boards to use what will now be the correct
endianness instead of pretending that the devices are little-endian.
