xilinx_fb_out_be32 macro doesn't declare local variables, and is a single "line of code"
in terms of the web page you've referenced. IOW I can't get an example where this macro
would do wrong off the top of my head. Anyway, the do { ... } while (0) is safe and
common, so I'll regenerate the patch to use it.

Thanks a lot for reviewing that stuff!

Best regards,
Andrei
