+Device-Tree binding for device endianness
+
+The endianness mode of CPU & Device scenarios:
+Index CPU Device Endianness properties
+------------------------------------------------------------
+1 LE LE -
+2 LE BE 'big-endian{,-*}'
+3 BE BE -
+4 BE LE 'little-endian{,-*}'
+
+For one device driver, which will run in different scenarios above
+on different SoCs using the devicetree, we need one way to simplify
+this.
+
+Required properties:
+- {big,little}-endian{,-*}: these are boolean properties, if absent
+ meaning that the CPU and the Device are in the same endianness mode.
+
+Examples:
+Scenario 1 : CPU in LE mode & device in LE mode.
+dev: dev@40031000 {
+ compatible = "name";
+ reg = <0x40031000 0x1000>;
+ ...
+};
+
+Scenario 2 : CPU in LE mode & device in BE mode.
+dev: dev@40031000 {
+ compatible = "name";
+ reg = <0x40031000 0x1000>;
+ ...
+ big-endian{,-*};
+};
+
+Scenario 3 : CPU in BE mode & device in BE mode.
+dev: dev@40031000 {
+ compatible = "name";
+ reg = <0x40031000 0x1000>;
+ ...
+};
+
+Scenario 4 : CPU in BE mode & device in LE mode.
+dev: dev@40031000 {
+ compatible = "name";
+ reg = <0x40031000 0x1000>;
+ ...
+ little-endian{,-*};
+};
