Subject: [PATCH v2] arch: Kconfig: Let all little endian architectures define CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN explicitly
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:48:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53EA99C3.90203@gmail.com> (raw)

x86 and ia64 are always little endian. And another architectures may be
little endian: mips, sh, powerpc, and m32r (may mark CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
explicitly); also arm(64) and c6x (which may be !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN).

Some drivers (e.g. some of "drivers/isdn/hisax") may only support little
endian (CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN), and some drivers may only support big endian
(!CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN).

So export all little endian architectures within kernel wide, so can let
Kconfig easier for the modules which only support little endian or only
for big endian (assume !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN is same as CPU_BIG_ENDIAN).
