device property: Implement device_is_big_endian()
[ Upstream commit 826a5d8c9df9605fb4fdefa45432f95580241a1f ]
Some users want to use the struct device pointer to see if the
device is big endian in terms of Open Firmware specifications,
i.e. if it has a "big-endian" property, or if the kernel was
compiled for BE *and* the device has a "native-endian" property.
Provide inline helper for the users.
