include: warn for inconsistent endian config definition
We have seen some generic code use config parameter CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to decide the endianness. Here are the few examples. include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h drivers/of/base.c drivers/of/fdt.c drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c Display warning if CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is not defined on big endian architecture and also warn if it defined on little endian architectures. Here is our original discussion https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/24/620 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499358861-179979-4-git-send-email-babu.moger@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@oracle.com> Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: "James E.J.
