I've never seen CPU endianity being hardwired in any ARM system ever
-- but maybe OMAP is different.

(Out of all the ARM subarchs supported in the kernel right now, I've had
ep93xx'es, iop13xx'es, iop32x'es, iop33x'es, ixp2000s, ixp23xx'es,
ixp4xx'es, kirkwoods, mv78xx0's, and orion5x'es all running in BE mode
at some point.)
