[PATCH] ata: pata_ep93xx: fix endianness bug in trailing byte transfer

[Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>]

ep93xx_pata_data_xfer() handles a trailing odd byte by reading/writing
a full 16-bit word and extracting the first byte.  The current code
uses cpu_to_le16()/le16_to_cpu() wrapping, but then assigns through a
u8 pointer (*pad), truncating the value.

On the READ path, *pad = cpu_to_le16(...) truncates the u16 to u8.
On little-endian this happens to give the right byte, but on big-endian
cpu_to_le16() puts the valid byte in the upper 8 bits and truncation
keeps the lower 8 bits (zeros), losing the data.

On the WRITE path, le16_to_cpu(*pad) zero-extends pad[0] (u8) to u16
(0x00BB) and then on big-endian byte-swaps to 0xBB00.  The hardware then
receives 0x00 as the first byte instead of 0xBB.

The readl()/writel() calls inside ep93xx_pata_read_data() and
ep93xx_pata_write_data() already handle endianness correctly, so the
trailing byte can just use the raw read/write value directly without
the cpu_to_le16/le16_to_cpu wrappers.  Remove the pad[] array and
simplify.
