Ah, too bad to have to revert a correct change until the infrastructure
is fixed properly, but I guess it's the easier way out here.

What about the other uses of REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE in the kernel?
In particular I see 

drivers/clk/nxp/clk-lpc32xx.c:  .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,

drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-apq8084.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-ipq806x.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-msm8660.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-msm8916.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-msm8960.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-msm8960.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/gcc-msm8974.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/lcc-ipq806x.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/lcc-msm8960.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/mmcc-apq8084.c:        .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/mmcc-msm8960.c:        .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/mmcc-msm8960.c:        .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,
drivers/clk/qcom/mmcc-msm8974.c:        .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,

drivers/nvmem/qfprom.c: .val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE,

and of course

drivers/mfd/syscon.c:   syscon_config.val_format_endian = REGMAP_ENDIAN_LITTLE;

which all look like they are regmap_mmio users as well. Do they 
suffer from the same problem?
