[ARM] 3089/1: ixp4xx AHB/PCI endianness fix

Patch from Alessandro Zummo

  This patch fixes AHB/PCI endianness problems when the
 processor is in little-endian mode.

 The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives
 in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19.

 According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus
 supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian.

 The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR
 register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus.

 A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX
 can be found in [1], page 18.

 The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in
 both LE and BE modes.

 The author is Peter Korsgaard.
