powerpc/powernv: Properly fix LPC debugfs endianness
Endian is hard, especially when I designed a stupid FW interface, and I should know better... oh well, this is attempt #2 at fixing this properly. This time it seems to work with all access sizes and I can run my flashing tool (which exercises all sort of access sizes and types to access the SPI controller in the BMC) just fine.

+ * Now there is some trickery with the data returned by OPAL
+ * as it's the desired data right justified in a 32-bit BE
+ * word.
+ *
+ * This is a very bad interface and I'm to blame for it :-(
+ *
+ * So we can't just apply a 32-bit swap to what comes from OPAL,
+ * because user space expects the *bytes* to be in their proper
+ * respective positions (ie, LPC position).
+ *
+ * So what we really want to do here is to shift data right
+ * appropriately on a LE kernel.
+ *
+ * IE. If the LPC transaction has bytes B0, B1, B2 and B3 in that
+ * order, we have in memory written to by OPAL at the "data"
+ * pointer:
+ *
+ * Bytes: OPAL "data" LE "data"
+ * 32-bit: B0 B1 B2 B3 B0B1B2B3 B3B2B1B0
+ * 16-bit: B0 B1 0000B0B1 B1B00000
+ * 8-bit: B0 000000B0 B0000000
+ *
+ * So a BE kernel will have the leftmost of the above in the MSB
+ * and rightmost in the LSB and can just then "cast" the u32 "data"
+ * down to the appropriate quantity and write it.
+ *
+ * However, an LE kernel can't. It doesn't need to swap because a
+ * load from data followed by a store to user are going to preserve
+ * the byte ordering which is the wire byte order which is what the
+ * user wants, but in order to "crop" to the right size, we need to
+ * shift right first.
