The SM502 registers are in little endian format, you access them
over PCI interface, that is the reason. The commit introduced
a regression, I'll try to fix it this weekend. IIRC, there is
a flag to switch to big-endian register format in SM502, but
I'm not sure if it will also affect frame buffer data format.
