Subject: [PATCH v3 00/14] arm64: Remove unused big-endian support
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:52:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918145217.1669-1-will@kernel.org> (raw)

Hi all,

This is version three of the big-endian removal series previously posted
here:

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260811140132.22778-1-will@kernel.org/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260907163726.17104-1-will@kernel.org

Changes since v2 include:
  * Retain support for emitting absolute symbol references with PIE
  * Retain endianness handling on EFI MMU-enabled boot path
  * Invert compile-time endianness check in Hisilicon sec2 driver
  * Added some tags

Cheers,

Will
