From e9ef073a0796e46c24f037237291efe56fc28ad9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Babu Moger Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:14:29 -0700 Subject: 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.
