I cannot apply this, there are too many issues:

Do not mix lots of coding style and functional changes.

If you want to fix coding style, do it later in a seperate
patch after you implement your functional change.

+	if (!reg_data & CCR_ENDIAN) {

This test will never do what you want it to do.

First the compiler will evaluate "!reg_data" which will be either "0"
or "1", then it will and it with the CCR_ENDIAN mask, which is (1 <<
10).  And this can never be true.

I also do not like all of the endian ifdefs peppered all over the
driver.  Try consolidate this by creating a header file that contains
the structure and macro definitions, and in there create helper inline
functions which do the ifdefs.  This way the ks8851_mll.c file can
stay ifdef clean.

Thanks.
