It should list both.  The codec really doesn't care how the data is laid
out in memory, it's up to the other end of the link to format it into
the appropriate format for the bus and there's no reason why controllers
wouldn't be able to offer byteswapping.

Yes - I've got a change queued up to do this which applies it uniformly
over all codec drivers (as part of some other cross-driver cleanup
work I'm still working on).  For clarity it's a change which should be
applied uniformly to all codec drivers rather than over some of them
(creating confusion) so for the minute this driver does the same as all
the rest.

It's most likely a typo in the datasheet; I should have confirmed this
by tomorrow.
