[PATCH 12/29] staging: brcm80211: simplified register access macro's in softmac

["Arend van Spriel" <arend@broadcom.com>]

From: Roland Vossen <rvossen@broadcom.com>

Code cleanup. Removed MIPS specific 'sync' instruction since this is not
required for the chips that this driver supports. MIPS specific macro's
were now the same as non-MIPS register access macro's and thus have been
deleted. Also added comment that makes clearer what the benefit of these
macro's is. Unified big and little end register access macro's.

+ * Register access macros.
+ *
+ * These macro's take a pointer to the address to read as one of their
+ * arguments. The macro itself deduces the size of the IO transaction (u8, u16
+ * or u32). Advantage of this approach in combination with using a struct to
+ * define the registers in a register block, is that access size and access
+ * location are defined in only one spot. This reduces the risk of the
+ * programmer trying to use an unsupported transaction size on a register.
+ *
+ * For big endian operation, a byte swap has to be done. Eg, when attempting
+ * to read byte address 0, byte 3 should be read. This is accomplished
+ * using an xor ('^') operator.
