Additionally I suggest to add the following to include/common.h:

/*
 * sanity check. 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.
 */
#include <asm/byteorder.h>
#if defined __LITTLE_ENDIAN && defined __BIG_ENDIAN
#error "both __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined"
#endif
#if !defined __LITTLE_ENDIAN && !defined __BIG_ENDIAN
#error "None of __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined"
#endif

Be careful. This is also included when building the barebox env tool.

Getting the endianess right is tricky. As mentioned above in Userspace
we have:

#define __LITTLE_ENDIAN 1234
#define __BIG_ENDIAN 4321
#define __BYTE_ORDER [__LITTLE_ENDIAN|__BIG_ENDIAN]

Whereas the kernel only defines either __LITTLE_ENDIAN or __BIG_ENDIAN

This means that #ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN in userspace will always be true
regardless of the endianess.

So this is also wrong.

ditto.

I suggest using the following patch which should do the things I
mentioned right.

Change byte order detection mechanism to kernel style

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 switch to use the kernel
way of determing the byte order.

As this always causes a lot of confusion add a check to include/common.h to
make sure only one of __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN is defined.
