Subject: [PATCH] iio: vcnl4000: Fix i2c swapped word reading.

The bytes returned by the i2c reading need to be swapped unconditionally. Otherwise, on be16 platforms, an incorrect value will be returned.

Taking the slow path via next merge window as its been around a while and we have a patch set dependent on this which would be held up.
