staging: brcm80211: simplified register access macro's in softmac

Code cleanup. Removed MIPS specific 'sync' instruction since this is not
required for the chips that this driver supports. MIPS specific macro's
were now the same as non-MIPS register access macro's and thus have been
deleted. Also added comment that makes clearer what the benefit of these
macro's is. Unified big and little end register access macro's.

+ * Register access macros.
+ *
+ * These macro's take a pointer to the address to read as one of their
+ * arguments. The macro itself deduces the size of the IO transaction (u8, u16
+ * or u32). Advantage of this approach in combination with using a struct to
+ * define the registers in a register block, is that access size and access
+ * location are defined in only one spot. This reduces the risk of the
+ * programmer trying to use an unsupported transaction size on a register.
+ *
+ * For big endian operation, a byte swap has to be done. Eg, when attempting
+ * to read byte address 0, byte 3 should be read. This is accomplished
+ * using an xor ('^') operator.
