That said, the 2-arg macro arg order is wrong. It should be (reg,val) like tg3 and other drivers.

I actually wanted to mirror the ordering that
writel() uses.

So the choice is arbitrary, either be consistent with
our well established asm/io.h interfaces or a bunch
of network driver :-)

IMO (val,reg) was always unnatural. From looking at the register read/write interfaces people continually reinvent, humans definitely lean towards (reg,val).
