of: Add helper function to check MMIO register endianness

SoC peripherals can come in several different flavors:

 - little-endian: registers always need to be accessed in LE mode (so the
   kernel should perform a swap if the CPU is running BE)

 - big-endian: registers always need to be accessed in BE mode (so the
   kernel should perform a swap if the CPU is running LE)

 - native-endian: the bus will automatically swap accesses, so the kernel
   should never swap

Introduce a function that checks an OF device node to see whether it
contains a "big-endian" or "native-endian" property.  For the former case,
always return true.  For the latter case, return true iff the kernel was
built for BE (implying that the BE MMIO accessors do not perform a swap).
Otherwise return false, assuming LE registers.

LE registers are assumed by default because most existing drivers (libahci,
serial8250, usb) always use readl/writel in the absence of instructions
to the contrary, so that will be our fallback.
