As was suggested in
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-February/150782.html,
you could put this patch later in the series and use the ARM_BE8()
macro you introduce in the next patch.

Also in
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-February/150784.html,
the same reviewer suggested to name the macro BE8() to make it fit like
ARM() and THUMB() in the margin left by the indentation of assembly
code. And also to add LE() to make the above code look like:

BE8(	bic ip, ip, #0xff000000)
BE8(	orr ip, ip, r6, lsl#24)
LE(	bic ip, ip, #0x000000ff)
LE(	orr ip, ip, r6)
