I think perhaps what Mark may have meant was something like this:

	static inline u32 fsl_pwm_readl(struct fsl_pwm_chip *fpc,
					const void __iomem *addr)
	{
		u32 value = readl(addr);

		if (likely(fpc->big_endian))
			value = be32_to_cpu(value);
		else
			value = le32_to_cpu(value);

		return value;
	}

	static inline void fsl_pwm_writel(struct fsl_pwm_chip *fpc, u32 value,
					  const void __iomem *addr)
	{
		if (likely(fpc->big_endian))
			value = cpu_to_be32(value);
		else
			value = cpu_to_le32(value);

		writel(value, addr);
	}

That way you call the accessors only once, and do the conversion after
or before that.
