Shadow registers are consistent memory locations to which the chip
echos ring indexes in little endian format. These values need to
be endian swapped before referencing.
Note:
The register pointer declaration uses the volatile modifier which
causes warnings in checkpatch.
Per Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt:
- Pointers to data structures in coherent memory which might be modified
by I/O devices can, sometimes, legitimately be volatile. A ring buffer
used by a network adapter, where that adapter changes pointers to
indicate which descriptors have been processed, is an example of this
type of situation.
