The rule is supposed to be that inX/outX/readX/writeX be free of
endianness issues on the bus.  i.e. doing a readw() on a memory mapped
PCI config space on parisc should have a le16_to_cpu implied in the
readw().

Obviously, accesses which go straight to memory (i.e. not via accessor
macros) are the responsibility of the driver for sorting out the
endianness.
