This is incorrect. ARM can be either endian.
arch/arm/mm/Kconfig:
config CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
bool "Build big-endian kernel"
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN

Say Y if you plan on running a kernel in big-endian mode.
Note that your board must be properly built and your board
port must properly enable any big-endian related features
of your chipset/board/processor.
