Subject: iio: accel: bmc150: fix endianness when reading axes

From: Irina Tirdea <[email protected]>

commit 2215f31dc6f88634c1916362e922b1ecdce0a6b3 upstream.

For big endian platforms, reading the axes will return invalid values.

The device stores each axis value in a 16 bit little endian register. The driver uses regmap_read_bulk to get the axis value, resulting in a 16 bit little endian value. This needs to be converted to cpu endianness to work on big endian platforms.

Fix endianness for big endian platforms by converting the values for the axes read from little endian to cpu.

This is also partially fixed in commit b6fb9b6d6552 ("iio:
accel: bmc150: optimize transfers in trigger handler").
