I am wondering about the what the status of Little endian support of
Octeon in upstream kernel,
aka Linus tree.

If not, any plan?

Octeon II:
       Supported now?

Octeon III:
       Supported now?
       How about the FPU?

I think the kernel.org kernel supports little-endian on OCTEON II and above.

I think so.

I think so.

Anything that works big-endian, should also work little-endian.

That said, some driver support for OCTEON III may be missing (and OCTEON 
II for that matter).
