My last submission attempted to work around serial driver coexistence
problems on multiplatform kernels.  Since there are still questions
surrounding the best way to solve that problem, this patch series
will focus on the narrower topic of big endian MMIO support on serial.

FWIW:

V2->V3:

 - Document the new DT properties.

 - Add libfdt-based wrapper, to complement the "struct device_node" based
   version.

 - Restructure early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial() changes to use a
   temporary variable, so it is easy to add more of_setup_earlycon()
   properties later.

 - Make of_serial and serial8250 honor the new "big-endian" property.


This series applies cleanly to:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/glikely/linux.git devicetree/next-overlay

but was tested on the mips-for-linux-next branch because my BE platform
isn't supported in mainline yet.
