[PATCH 0/2] Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or warn for inconsistencies

[Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Found this problem while enabling queued rwlock on SPARC.
The parameter CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is used to clear the
specific byte in qrwlock structure. Without this parameter,
we clear the wrong byte. Here is the code.

static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock)
  {
         return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN);
  }

Here is the previous discussion.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg178101.html

Based on the discussion, it was decided to add CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
for all the fixed big endian architecture(frv, h8300, m68k, openrisc,
parisc and sparc). And warn if there are inconsistencies in this definition.

  arch: Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all fixed big endian archs
  include: warn for inconsistent endian config definition
