[PATCH 1/1] Big endian swap for Marvell 6440 SAS driver

[PATCH 1/1] Big endian swap for Marvell 6440 SAS driver

[Cédric Cano]

Hi,

Marvell SAS driver doesn't work on powerpc architecture due to big 
endian swap. I've tested it with the MV6440 chip.
Here you can find the patch for Linux 2.6.39.1.

Hi Cedric !

Thanks for this. CC'ing linux-scsi.

Note that it would probably have been better to use le32_to_cpu, which
avoids the ifdef completely.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

You're alright! I hadn't thought to use le32_to_cpu.
Do you want I make a new patch?

Well, I'm not the maintainer of the subsystem or of the driver, so I'm
not going to be the one accepting/merging it :-)

I'm just reviewing the patch, but yes, I think you should, and you
should send it to the right people, ie, I think at least linux-scsi and
possibly the author/maintainer of the driver itself.

Cheers,
Ben.
