[PATCH] drm/ast: Fix big-endian support

From: René Rebe

Date: Tue Dec 02 2025 - 11:07:41 EST


The Aspeed ast drm driver has the frame-buffer RGBX swapped on
big-endian RISC systems. Fix by enabling byte swapping for any
__BIG_ENDIAN config.

Fixes: 12fec1405dd5 ("drm: Initial KMS driver for AST (ASpeed Technologies) 2000 series (v2)")
