[PATCH 06/12] arm64: assembler: Remove endianness helper macros

Tue Aug 11 07:01:25 PDT 2026
The CPU_LE()/CPU_BE() helper macros are only used by head.S. Since
big-endian support depends on BROKEN, remove the last users along with
the macro definitions. The unused regs_to_64() assembly macro, which
somewhat bizarrely behaves differently depend on the endianness, is also
removed.
