From d8e85e144bbe12e8d82c6b05d690a34da62cc991 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anders Roxell Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 10:26:52 +0100 Subject: arm64: Kconfig: add a choice for endianness When building allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=$(pwd)/arch/arm64/configs/defconfig CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN gets enabled. Which tends not to be what most people want. Another concern that has come up is that ACPI isn't built for an allmodconfig kernel today since that also depends on !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN. Rework so that we introduce a 'choice' and default the choice to CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN. That means that when we build an allmodconfig kernel it will default to CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN that most people tends to want.
