The pr_debug() assumes that the length of reg[] is >= 4 elements, which might not be true.
Since the following while loop checks the length of reg[] and then uses pr_debug() to
print each (base, size) tuple with the correct endian, maybe it would be better to
just remove reg[0] through reg[3] from the above pr_debug() instead of fixing the
endian issue.
