Hello list,

inside the automatic U-Boot patch tracking system a new ticket
[DNX#2007041642000023] was created:

<snip>
> I've noticed that VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN in drivers/cfb_console.c is
> not really well named.  What it does is swap bytes around if the frame
> buffer has a /different/ endianness from the host.  If you start with
> a little endian host and frame buffer and define
> VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN the drawn colors get incorrectly byte swapped.
> 
> the attached patch changes VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN to
> VIDEO_FB_OTHER_ENDIAN to make it clearer what it does.
