Subject: [PATCH 5.9 021/133] drm/nouveau/device: fix changing endianess code to work on older GPUs

From: Karol Herbst <kherbst@...hat.com>

commit dcd292c172493067a72672b245a3dd1bcf7268dd upstream.

With this we try to detect if the endianess switch works and assume LE if
not. Suggested by Ben.

Fixes: 51c05340e407 ("drm/nouveau/device: detect if changing endianness failed")
