This doesn't "fix" the warning, it only hides the warning and leaves
the actual issue unfixed.

The issue here is that writel already does a cpu_to_le32 conversion,
so the extra cpu_to_le32 calls are actually bogus and need to be
removed. Else it will do a double conversion on big endian systems,
resulting in the data being written in big endian.
