I don't think this patch is worth pursuing in 5.4 and 4.19, I would be very surprised if someone was to hit this issue there, as arm64 big endian is pretty esoteric as is. If someone does report something at some point, we can consider it then but for now, I think they should be dropped from 5.4 and 4.19.
