---------------------------------------------------
1 BE 'big-endian'
2 LE 'little-endian'
+3 Native 'native-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,
- these properties are for register values and all the buffers only.
+Optional properties:
+- {big,little,native}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
+ then the implementation will choose a default based on the device
+ being controlled. These properties are for register values and all
+ the buffers only. Native endian means that the CPU and device have
+ the same endianness.
Examples:
Scenario 1 : CPU in LE mode & device in LE mode.
