Possibly outside the scope of this patch set, I'd like to replace enum
device_endian with MemOp, with exactly the above enumerator replacement.

In the meantime, perhaps a conversion function

static MemOp devendian_memop(enum device_endian d)
{
    switch (d) {
    case DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN:
        return MO_TE;
    case DEVICE_BIG_ENDIAN:
        return MO_BE;
    case DEVICE_LITTLE_ENDIAN:
        return MO_LE;
    default:
        g_assert_not_reached();
    }
}

With that, this would simplify to

    return (op & MO_BSWAP) != devendian_memop(mr->ops->endianness);

Agreed.
