Looks like nvkm_device_endianness unconditionally reads out 0x4. I
don't think that reg is there pre-NV11. At least NV4, NV5, NV10 and
maybe NV15 (which is logically pre-NV11) don't support big-endian
mode. Not sure about NV1A, which was the IGP of the series and IIRC
logically pre-NV11 as well (but clearly could only be used with x86
chips, since it was part of the motherboard).

Aha, it's documented in rnndb:

https://github.com/envytools/envytools/blob/master/rnndb/bus/pmc.xml
<reg32 offset="0x004" name="ENDIAN" variants="NV1A-"/>
