# Attached patch is not to be checked in to the repository.

I found the patch attached is needed to make a NIC on SH7780LCR
 working in big-endian mode.

Reading the source code drivers/nic/r8169.c, 
what I can guess about the system it has been written for, are

1. Data structures transfered by PCI DMA are little endian.
 It users explicit conversion when accessing descriptors.

2. Data read/written by PCI target transfer are big(=cpu) endian.
 MMIO registers are accessed read/write[bwl] without conversion.
 Or perhaps read/write[bwl]() do the conversion.
 I'v found some of powerPC platforms have such code for PCI space.

Because PCI is defined only for little-endian, endian conversion which
PCI bridge on big-endian hardware provides can vary.
I know I can not help conversion tasks depend on each platforms.

But, I think read/write[bwl]() might have a rule about cross-endian access.
Do they provide endian conversion ?

I could not find the answer in
 Documentation/DocBook/deviceiobook
 Documentation/PCI/
.

Does anybody know the document and/or discussion?

Cheers,
/yoshii

This is a pretty common problem, we just haven't run in to it much in the
past since almost no one uses any PCI-capable SH part in big-endian mode.

Take a look at the CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE on mips, we should be able to do
something pretty similar without much hassle.

Reading sources with grep, It is becoming clearer that things
 are not so clearly defined. Anyway, I am reading more, slowly:).
Thank you.
