[PATCH v1 1/3] device property: Implement device_is_big_endian()

[Andy Shevchenko]

Some users want to use the struct device pointer to see if the
device is big endian in terms of Open Firmware specifications,
i.e. if it has a "big-endian" property, or if the kernel was
compiled for BE *and* the device has a "native-endian" property.

Provide inline helper for the users.
