The flag passed to ioda_eeh_phb_reset() should be EEH_RESET_DEACTIVATE,
which is translated to OPAL_DEASSERT_RESET or something else by the
EEH backend accordingly.

The patch replaces OPAL_DEASSERT_RESET with EEH_RESET_DEACTIVATE for
ioda_eeh_phb_reset().

Obviously I had wrong format given to the PE state output from
/sys/bus/pci/devices/xxxx/eeh_pe_state with some typoes, which
was introduced by commit 2013add4ce73. The patch fixes it up.

On pseries system (LPAR) xmon failed to enter when running in LE mode,
system is hunging. Inititating xmon will lead to such an output on the
console:

cpu 0x15: Exception 300 (Data Access) in xmon, returning to main loop
xmon: WARNING: bad recursive fault on cpu 0x15

The root cause is that xmon is calling RTAS to turn off the surveillance
when entering xmon, and RTAS is requiring big endian parameters.

This patch is byte swapping the RTAS arguments when running in LE mode.

<content type='text'>
The current HMI event structure is an ABI and carries a version field to
accommodate future changes without affecting/rearranging current structure
members that are valid for previous versions.

The current version check "if (hmi_evt-&gt;version != OpalHMIEvt_V1)"
doesn't accomodate the fact that the version number may change in
future.

If firmware starts returning an HMI event with version &gt; 1, this check
will fail and no HMI information will be printed on older kernels.

This patch fixes this issue.
