The Linux Kernel defines only one of __LITTLE_ENDIAN and
__BIG_ENDIAN. Endianess can then be tested with #ifdef __xx_ENDIAN.
Userspace always defined both __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN
and byteorder can then be tested with #if __BYTE_ORDER == __xx_ENDIAN.
As we tend to use a lot of Kernel code in barebox we use
the kernel way of determing the byte order. Make sure here
that architecture code properly defines it.
