"DMA transfers need to be synced properly in order for
the cpu and device to see the most uptodate and correct
copy of the DMA buffer."

Embarrassingly, this bug is unique to p54 and has been around
since 2.6.25. This tells us something interesting about our
userbase.

Most likely it tells us that most people using p54 are using little
endian boxes with coherent DMA... :-)

I do use it on a LE system that probably has coherent DMA. Did someone run into
this bug?

How does a BE zero differ from a LE zero? Using it this way emphasizes that it
needs to be translated - I'm not objecting, just curious.

As far as I can know "0" is something like an endian palindrome.
Otherwise [non-NULL] we would have fixed this long ago, because
then a warning is generated by "sparse":
drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54pci.c:229:20: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54pci.c:229:20: expected restricted __le32 [usertype] host_addr
drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54pci.c:229:20: got int

Furthermore the compiler optimizes *constant* cpu_to_le
[and vice versa] conversions, so there's no hidden cost
from using them.
