Applied, but we're long overdue for an across-the-board-available
endianness Kconfig option that can flat out be used in these situations.
The current way this is handled is at best, a mess.
I fully agree.
Thanks!
Regarding the general Kconfig endianess symbol, I will do another patch
based on the information of
git grep '_endian\.h' -- arch/
and supply every arch with either of CONFIG_CPU_{LITTLE,BIG}_ENDIAN if
lacking.
Note that Chen Gang (Cc'd) attempted the same almost a year ago:
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/7540/
then:
http://marc.info/?t=14095865642r=1w=2
The idea was great IMHO but it did not work out, and I can't remember
why.

Thank you very much for this pointer, Jean! I've read through these
threads and to summarize, some arch maintainers' main point against that
patchset is that (recent) drivers should generally support both, LE and
BE.
It is interesting to note that Chen Gang had already addressed the very
same issue (Hisax NetJet driver) by the far more general approach
proposed by David Miller here, namely by introducing an
across-the-board-available endianess Kconfig option.
So unless you really want to have such an option and ping me, I will not
do another patch in the mood of Chen Gang's original one.
