The LitePCIe bridge in the WiWi Time Card production image cannot safely
service subword MMIO accesses. Bringing up its AXI IIC controller with the
existing byte accessors caused a fatal machine check. Two crash dumps
placed the faulting access in ioread8(), called by xiic_clear_rx_fifo()
during xiic_reinit(). The affected register was the IIC status register.
Add a platform-data flag to use aligned 32-bit accesses for registers
carrying byte or halfword values. Keep the detected register endianness
and use a single transaction, not read-modify-write, for FIFO accesses.
Platforms that do not request this mode retain their existing accessors.
With these accessors on a WiWi card, the controller probed and at24
registered the board and MAC EEPROMs. Repeated EEPROM reads and I2C
interrupt delivery were tested separately on an earlier Ubuntu port.
Tool-origin disclosure, as required by generated-content.rst: Codex was
used to analyze the supplied crash evidence, implement the accessors,
prepare tests and draft this changelog. The request was to support the
WiWi card while retaining the existing behavior on other platforms.

Exercise the driver's private register accessors with memory-backed
registers instead of physical hardware. Cover native byte/halfword and
forced 32-bit accesses in both register byte orders, across 22 register
offsets. Check payload truncation, high-bit values and neighboring
sentinels. These tests do not validate physical bus transaction widths
or hardware interrupt behavior.
Include the tests in the driver translation unit so no accessors need
to become exported interfaces. Require built-in KUnit to avoid a
built-in driver depending on a modular test framework. The tests follow
the driver into either its built-in image or module.
The four parameterized cases passed in an isolated x86-64 QEMU boot
with networking disabled and no physical-device passthrough.
Tool-origin disclosure, as required by generated-content.rst: Codex was
used to implement this test suite, run the KUnit build/boot and draft
this changelog, in response to a request for upstream-quality testing.
