Fix the compilation warning in powerpc. The same change also fixes endian
issue we found in powerpc test. This patch has been tested in x86 and
powerpc platform. it is created using scsi-misc-2.6.

When fixing a warning, please quote that warning in the patch description!

<does a cross-build>

It seems that you're referring to this:

drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c:1331: warning: value computed is not used

When fixing a bug, please fully describe the bug!

If this driver has "endian issues" on powerpc then it's quite possible
that this is a running-around-with-hair-on-fire,
must-backport-to-2.6.33.x bugfix.

But how would I know?  You didn't tell me!

Hi Andrew,

Sorry about the obscure description of the patch, I will provide detailed
description in the future patch submission.

Yes this patch is intended to fix the compilation warning you listed above.

Regarding the big endian issue I mentioned, basically I remove an
unnecessary word swap in bfa_os_reg_read() and bfa_os_reg_write()
because the kernel provided readl and writel are already doing so. The
compilation warning also goes away after this change. For
bfa_os_mem_read() and bfa_os_mem_write() macros, I add a swap since
these two macros are designed to read/write from/to a memory region
that is in BE format per ASIC spec.

Thanks

Jing
