Better yet, you may choose L or R on input to each round with a mux,
based on the least significant bit of the round number.  In fact, you
only need to apply this towards the half-block (that is, L or R) to be
xor'ed after the S-box lookups.  You do not need it for the S-box
inputs, which are always based on whatever was the output of the
previous round (regardless of whether it's L or R).
