When kernel config with big endian mode, spi master need
to config regmap data value to be little endian mode. Or else,
the kernel boot will hang.

This should be unconditionally set to native endian if the IP changes
endianness along with the CPU.

Drop this ifdef.  It's little endian regardless of what mode the CPU is in.

Are you sure this is correct on all platforms?  E.g. ls1021a?

Looking more closely, the binding has a big-endian property.  It says
the default if that property is absent is native endian, which is
insane.  Fix the binding to say that little endian is the default (this
change shouldn't break any existing trees), and make sure that's what
the code implements.  I think you need val_format_endian_default, not
val_format_endian.

The binding defaults to little endian and (in implmentation terms)
always has done though that used to be unintentional.  There *are* a
reasonable number of devices out there which are native endian, for
example most of the MIPS chips switch the endianness of the entire chip
rather than just the CPU, but most of the current usage has been on ARM
devices which only switch the core.

Hi Mark and Scott,

Thank you very much both!
The default dspi in the .dtsi setting to be Big endian as default. But it will hang at cpu setting big endian mode. After setting _format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE will fix it only in big endian mode.

We'll check it more about the val_format_endian_default.


Best regards,
Liu Po
