The MPIC code checks for a "big-endian" property and sets the flag
MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN if one is present. Unfortunately, the PowerQUICC-III
compatible device-tree does not specify it, so all of the board ports
need to manually set that flag when calling mpic_alloc().
Document the flag and add it to the pq3 device tree. Existing code
will still need to pass the MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN flag because their dtb may
not have this property, but new platforms shouldn't need to do so.
