Why are you doing that? What is the rational?
Anyhow if this not required by your series, you should split it out of
it, and send it on your principal changes are merged.
I'm worried because this these new patches involve many subsystems (thus
maintainers) and reviewing them will now take a fair amount of time.

If only little endian targets use a device, that doesn't mean the device
is designed in little endian...
Then if a big endian target plan to use this device, it will require
more work and you might have introduced regressions...
I'm not sure this is a safe move.
