We have discussed support for big endian kernels in past and discussion
end up with that there is no customer for this. It means I can change
this but none will use this.

This function is called from power management driver to find out a
version of PMUFW. It is not a problem to save version in the driver and
provide another function to access it instead of asking firmware again.
Or also remove this completely because it is more for power management
then for communication. And this patch is just about communication.

How can you find out what you are talking to without asking for version?

It should be probably be based on some sort of list of services and
based on that enabled features.

Anyway I don't need this function to be in this interface driver that's
why I will remove this part in v2.

Will remove.

This will go out too.

Ok. This function will be called by nvmem driver which provides an
option to expose chip id to kernel and user space.

I can call this function just once internally and then expose another
function which will simply just provide access to that static variable.
Please let me know what you prefer.

Thanks,
