As this is a common symbol, and replicated for all affected architectures,
I'm wondering if we should have the "config CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN" in
common Kconfig code instead, and make the individual architectures do a
"select CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN"?

Also we could have "config CPU_BIG_ENDIAN", too, and error out
if none or both are selected (can Kconfig error out?).
