I just wanted to have all bmips drivers in line (at least regarding read/write).
If I remember correctly someone told me that this controller was also present on some little endian SoCs, but you can confirm that :).
Unfortunately I haven’t got any devices with ARM-based DSL SoCs, so the answer is no.
