[PATCH 11/12] arm64: image: Remove endianness handling for generating image header

[Will Deacon]

Since big-endian support for arm64 depends on BROKEN, we don't need to
bother jumping through hoops to generate a little-endian kernel image
header for a big-endian target. We can just ignore the possibility
instead.
