No. High performance IP should rely on DMA essentially and be less
affected if not at all. Endianess should affect the control path, not
the data path (unless you got your wiring wrong again :-)
If you want an Kconfig option for an "optimal" version, put the ifdef
trickery in the accessors and make them inline.
We do something like that iirc with OHCI where the type of endianness
needed is a pair of select's and the conditional only happens when both
are set. You can probably do better with feature bits & a mask of
"possible" features relying on the compiler optimisations rather than
the preprocessor.
Cheers,
Ben.
