[PATCH] powerpc: allyesconfig should not selectCONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN

From: Anton Blanchard
Date: Thu Nov 21 2013 - 00:34:01 EST



Stephen reported a failure in an allyesconfig build.
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y gets set but his toolchain is not
new enough to support little endian. We really want to
default to a big endian build; Ben suggested using a choice
which defaults to CPU_BIG_ENDIAN.

This option selects whether a big endian or little endian kernel will
be built.

Note that if cross compiling a little endian kernel,
CROSS_COMPILE must point to a toolchain capable of targeting
little endian powerpc.
