[PATCH 1/9] ARM: ARMv7-M uses BE-8, not BE-32

From: arnd@arndb.de (Arnd Bergmann)
Date: 2016-02-18 14:03:33
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

When configuring the kernel for big-endian, we set either BE-8 or BE-32
based on the CPU architecture level. Until linux-4.4, we did not have
any ARMv7-M platform allowing big-endian builds, but now i.MX/Vybrid
is in that category, adn we get a build error because of this:

arch/arm/kernel/module-plts.c: In function 'get_module_plt':
arch/arm/kernel/module-plts.c:60:46: error: implicit declaration of function '__opcode_to_mem_thumb32' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

This comes down to picking the wrong default, ARMv7-M uses BE8
like ARMv7-A does. Changing the default gets the kernel to compile
and presumably works.
