I know two fb drivers which use endianess information (pm2fb and s3c2410fb).
Both resolve endianess at driver level. Actually, both handle it by setting special
bits so the graphics chip itself reorder bytes to transform foreign endianess. 
I understand that this patch is for chips which cannot reorder bytes by themselves.
Does anybody know of such a chip that's actually available in the wild?  Or are
we writing drivers for speculative possible chips?
