Driver and device support both XR24 and BX24 on both little endian and
big endian just fine.
Problem is both fbdev interfaces and the ADDFB ioctl specify the format
using bpp instead of fourcc, and advertising only one framebuffer format
-- in native byte order -- used to worked best, especially on bigendian
machines.
That was years ago though, IIRC predating the generic fbdev emulation,
so maybe it's time to revisit that. Changing it should be as simple as
updating the format arrays:
