commit8262e6f9b1upstream. This patch reverts5829210483("net: ks8851-ml: Fix 16-bit IO operation") andedacb098ea("net: ks8851-ml: Fix 16-bit data access"), because it turns out these were only necessary due to buggy hardware. This patch adds a check for such a buggy hardware to prevent any such mistakes again. While working further on the KS8851 driver, it came to light that the KS8851-16MLL is capable of switching bus endianness by a hardware strap, EESK pin. If this strap is incorrect, the IO accesses require such endian swapping as is being reverted by this patch. Such swapping also impacts the performance significantly. Hence, in addition to removing it, detect that the hardware is broken, report to user, and fail to bind with such hardware.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
