[ECOS] Big Endian on ARM

[Wilson Kwan]

Thanks Jifl for the quick response.

The Cirrus documentation seems to indicate that the processor will operate
in big endian mode. What are the reasons for the platform not supporting
this mode?

Thanks again,

Wilson

This is an infelicity of the configuration data. There should really be
something that disables the "use big endian mode" option when it's not
supported by the platform. It has no effect on the edb7xxx platform.
