Subject: [PATCH] exynos: Support big endian mode in secondary_startup
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:01:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405958507-8606-1-git-send-email-broonie@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Victor Kamensky <victor.kamensky@linaro.org>

Exynos processors generally operate in little endian mode so their
bootloader and ROM will almost always operate in little endian mode.
This means that if a big endian kernel is run it must switch the CPU
into big endian mode after gaining control.

The generic secondary_startup that is called from exynos specific
secondary startup code will do the switch, but we need it to do earlier
because exynos specific secondary_startup code which runs first also
works with data that is big endian when the kernel is compiled for big
endian.
