Yes, this is the spirit of what I was suggesting.  The code is much less
efficient/bigger on the Vybrid with this run-time detection; but this is
more efficient/smaller than previous versions.  I think that 'bg' can be
a compiler '#define' base on the configured SOC-systems.  Ie, if the
kernel config only has 'Vybrid' or only 'LayerScape', then 'bg' can be a
hard coded value.  The compiler will produce much better code in these
cases.

Also, maybe 'distro' people may want to make a 'hand-held' (Debian) or a
'router' (OpenWRT) distribution and they would only pick either 'Vybrid'
or 'LayerScape'.  However, if someone wants an 'every ARM under the
sun', then the code still works.  So, I think that the code is better
setup for a subsequent patch set like this (or at least just a good).

Especially, the stuff on the I/O swapping in the 'readl()' and
'writel()' is no longer needed; I think you can use the same function
for both SOCs.

I think that there are macros that you could use here.  For instance,
'#include <linux/swab.h>' (powerpc and arm) has some assembler macros
that are quite fast for swapping.  If the kernel config has ARCH >= 6
for ARM, then the very fast 'rev' instruction is used.  If not, then a
generic version is used as you have coded.  The PowerPC (another
possible future ARCH for QorIQ/Layerscape SOC?) always has inline
assembler macros.

So,

+ #include <linux/swab.h>
...
+ #define FTM_SWAP32(b, v)	(b ? __swab32(v) : v)

might be better.
