Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ARM: ensure loader information in LE format for BE kernels
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:30:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371659404-20167-7-git-send-email-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371659404-20167-1-git-send-email-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk>
From: Nico Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>
If the loader for the system is assuming we are booting a BE kernel
from a LE loading environment, then ensure that the magic number
and image start/end values are in little endian format.
