Are you sure we want the default to be CFI_HOST_ENDIAN when the
property is not defined? I think we should leave ->swap to 0 and let
the CFI logic use the CFI_DEFAULT_ENDIAN value. What you're doing here
you're likely to break platforms that are not explicitly specifying
endianness in their DT and are instead relying on the Kconfig choice.

I think that was one of Scott's comments on your previous version.
