This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    ARC: [BE] readl()/writel() to work in Big Endian CPU configuration

to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt7.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: ARC: [BE] readl()/writel() to work in Big Endian CPU configuration

commit f778cc65717687a3d3f26dd21bef62cd059f1b8b upstream.

read{l,w}() write{l,w}() primitives should use le{16,32}_to_cpu() and
cpu_to_le{16,32}() respectively to ensure device registers are read
correctly in Big Endian CPU configuration.

Per Arnd Bergmann
| Most drivers using readl() or readl_relaxed() expect those to perform byte
| swaps on big-endian architectures, as the registers tend to be fixed endian

This was needed for getting UART to work correctly on a Big Endian ARC.

The ARC accessors originally were fine, and the bug got introduced
inadventently by commit b8a033023994 ("ARCv2: barriers")
