drivers/dma/dw_dmac: make driver's endianness configurable
The dw_dmac driver was originally developed for avr32 to be used with the Synopsys DesignWare AHB DMA controller. Starting from 2.6.38, access to the device's i/o memory was done with the little-endian readl/writel functions(1) This broke the driver for the avr32 platform, because it needs big (native) endian accessors. This patch makes the endianness configurable using 'DW_DMAC_BIG_ENDIAN_IO', which will default be true for AVR32 I submitted this patch before(2) but then waited for Andy to finish other changes to the same module(3).
