Yes, sure. I could move those inline functions to a header, so that they can 
be used by the other "drivers" as well. Okay?

Unfortunately not. There are LE platforms that use BE accessors for the 
bootcounter already (Davinci enbw_cmc). Mostly historical reasons I assume, 
since the original bootcount implementation was powerpc specific with those 
be32() functions.
