    ARM: 8716/1: pass endianness info to sparse · ff0c6eec

    ARM depends on the macros '__ARMEL__' & '__ARMEB__' being defined
    or not to correctly select or define endian-specific macros,
    structures or pieces of code.
    
    These macros are predefined by the compiler but sparse knows
    nothing about them and thus may pre-process files differently
    from what gcc would.
    
    Fix this by passing '-D__ARMEL__' or '-D__ARMEB__' to sparse,
    depending on the endianness of the kernel, like defined by GCC.
    
    Note: In most case it won't change anything since most ARMs use
          little-endian (but an allyesconfig would use big-endian!).
