Subject: [PATCH net V1] net/mlx4_en: Doorbell is byteswapped in Little Endian archs
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:21:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419236517-15666-1-git-send-email-amirv@mellanox.com> (raw)

iowrite32() will byteswap it's argument on big endian archs.
iowrite32be() will byteswap on little endian archs.
Since we don't want to do this unnecessary byteswap on the fast path,
doorbell is stored in the NIC's native endianness. Using the right
iowrite() according to the arch endianness.

Fixes: 6a4e812 ("net/mlx4_en: Avoid calling bswap in tx fast path")
