 inw accesses ISA I/O space. Unless your
BSP uses the same base address for ISA and PCI I/O space (plus: the 
firmware/BSP
has to configure your card's base address consistently - PreP and CHRP 
should
probably work), you'll have a problem.

I usually prefer in_le32() which gives you more control over the base 
address.
Using in_le32() with a BSP defined base address makes your driver easier to
use on different BSPs.

The respective macros and inlines are defined in 
libcpu/powerpc/shared/include/io.h
