[U-Boot-Users] CramFS endianness

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi everybody,

I recently had a problem with cramfs endianness. cramfs tools generates a 
host-endian file system, which was incompatible with my big-endian MPC8260 
system. I patched mkcramfs to reverse the bit order, and was able to read the 
cramfs image from Linux.

However, even though Linux doesn't do any byte swapping, U-Boot assumes 
little-endian byte order and swap bytes on big-endian architectures. Why is 
that ? U-Boot and Linux are clearly not compatible on big-endian 
architectures, and I'd like to fix the problem in the right place.
