Defining properties in terms of "native" endianess is usually not a good
idea, as some architectures (ARMv6+, PowerPC, ...) allow running either
big-endian or little-endian without changing the endianess of device
registers in the process.
It's better to document the property as defaulting to a specific endianess
unless you have an override or the autodetection flag, regardless of
the CPU endianess.
