fwiw: the preferred ordering would have been:

#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h> /* for (FILE *) used by json_writer */
#include <string.h>
#include <linux/bitops.h>
#include <linux/btf.h>
#include <linux/err.h>

Could we try to do this at compilation time?  Without the variable? :(

#include <asm/byteorder.h>

#if defined(__BYTE_ORDER) ? __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN : defined(__BIG_ENDIAN)
	return true;
#else
	return false;
#endif

We could also just include endian.h, but since it's a non-standard
extension perhaps using kernel header is a safer bet.

nit: I think you missed these parenthesis

Or you can just put the #if here, since it's the only use.

nit: more parenthesis here

nit: here too, etc..

> +			jsonw_null(jw);

I don't think the null is good.  I thought I mentioned that?  Look for
example at Python:

>>> import json
>>> thing = json.loads('{"a": [97, 98, 99, 100]}')
>>> bytearray(thing["str"]).decode('utf-8')
'abcd'
>>> "".join(map(chr, thing["str"]))
'abcd'
>>> thing = json.loads('{"str": [97, 98, 99, 100, null]}')
>>> bytearray(thing["str"]).decode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: an integer is required
>>> "".join(map(chr, thing["str"]))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: an integer is required (got type NoneType)

If you start putting nulls into the array the conversion to a string
will become more difficult, won't it?  Do you have a use case where
this helps?  Maybe my Python-foo is not strong enough?

nit: empty line between variable declaration and code, perhaps also
don't init inline since it doesn't fit that way?

Thanks for all the changes you've made so far!
