It's PReP only, so I intend to handle it. But apart from checkpatch.pl
style problems (that I could fix up myself) this is touching on the same
soft reset topic that I am awaiting the outcome for x86.

The issue of returning endianness bit for 0x0092 is independent of that
and could be split out. I want a qtest case though, therefore my
interest in Markus' series. Could become a separate prep-test though.
