We have seen some generic code use config parameter CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to decide the endianness. Here are the few examples. include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h drivers/of/base.c drivers/of/fdt.c drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c Display warning if CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is not defined on big endian architecture and also warn if it defined on little endian architectures.
