As raw device io functions are not portable and don't handle byte-order (triggering suspicion that endianness isn't handled well) switch to using the standard api. Since MC expects LE byte-order and the upper layers already take care of that, we need to trick the device io api by doing a LE -> CPU conversion just before calling it. This way, the CPU -> LE conversion done in the api puts the data back in the right byte-order. Obviously, for reads the extra step is mirrored: there's a CPU -> LE conversion following the API call.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
