Commitc766e077d9("net: dsa: qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API") introduced bulk read/write methods to qca8k's regmap. The regmap bulk read/write methods get the register address in a buffer passed as a void pointer parameter (the same buffer contains also the read/written values). The register address occupies only as many bytes as it requires at the beginning of this buffer. For example if the .reg_bits member in regmap_config is 16 (as is the case for this driver), the register address occupies only the first 2 bytes in this buffer, so it can be cast to u16. But the original commit implementing these bulk read/write methods cast the buffer to u32: u32 reg = *(u32 *)reg_buf & U16_MAX; taking the first 4 bytes. This works on little endian systems where the first 2 bytes of the buffer correspond to the low 16-bits, but it obviously cannot work on big endian systems. Fix this by casting the beginning of the buffer to u16 as u32 reg = *(u16 *)reg_buf; Fixes:c766e077d9("net: dsa: qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API") Signed-off-by: Marek Behún <kabel@kernel.org> Tested-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Marangi <ansuelsmth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
