Most architectures don't actually support picking the endianess, I think
it would be better to keep this architecture specific in some form. If we
limit it to ARM/ARM64, we might not need the leconfig target at all, because
that is the default for all defconfig files in the kernel aside from ixp4xx,
which we can probably ignore here.
