Would be great as the first patch of your series then. :P

checkpatch is a useful script, but at the end of the day you still
should apply your judgment to know whether what it suggests actually
makes sense or not. In this case, I would favor code consistency over
arbitrary rules.

Mmm makes sense, but in this case I think the platform got it wrong.
The BIG_ENDIAN flag should be part of the platform data, not selected
from the driver's name. I'm open to be refuted, of course.
