I'm not sure who/what decided this but in Linux at least these are
meant to be read little endian and convert to cpu endian.
Classic m68k in linux works like that. Coldfire in Linux is currently
the same as u-boot on internal registers and but everything else has
the "correct" behaviour. I think that is so PCI can work.

Thank you for checking and sorry for the breakage.

mmm so I did try that for nommu classic m68k in Linux because it's
also "broken" there and got told to fix readl() etc.

Would putting this in some #ifdefs so coldfire keeps the current
behaviour and classic m68k matches Linux be acceptable?

Thanks,
