[merged] arch-define-cpu_big_endian-for-all-fixed-big-endian-archs.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: arch: define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all fixed big endian archs
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     arch-define-cpu_big_endian-for-all-fixed-big-endian-archs.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Babu Moger <babu.moger@oracle.com>
Subject: arch: define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all fixed big endian archs

Patch series "Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or warn for inconsistencies", v3.

While working on enabling queued rwlock on SPARC, found this following
code in include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h which uses CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to
clear a byte.

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

Problem is many of the fixed big endian architectures don't define
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and clears the wrong byte.

Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the fixed big endian architecture to fix it.

Also found few more references of this config parameter in
drivers/of/base.c
drivers/of/fdt.c
drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c
drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c
Be aware that this may cause regressions if someone has worked-around
problems in the above code already. Remove the work-around.
