If instructions of reversing /sys/devices/soc0/serial_number are kept, I
suggest to indicate that it's Linux' that prints them in reverse on
i.MX. `drivers/soc/imx/soc-imx8m.c` and `soc-imx.c` flat out present the
SoC UID in reverse order, at least consistently across i.MX SoCs.

There is an unambiguous order of the byteorder in the registers; and for
reasons beyond my comprehension (inattention?) it was chosen for the
kernel to print them uid[16],uid[15],uid[14],... Although the vendor
seems to do the obvious and expect uid[0],uid[1],uid[2],...

Regards,
Jonas
