[U-Boot] [PATCH 00/32] Initial sparse fix series

Hi David, Jon,
Kim Phillips created a series of patches to change variable declarations
that are big endian to be __be32/__be64. Since the device tree is
defined to be big endian, he created a patch to mark the appropriate
libfdt entities as __be*.

Upside: This is very good for identifying endian errors early.
Downside: It could break/complicate non-linux uses of libfdt.
What are your thoughts on this quest?

Below is the actual patch for reference (it was in a separate email).
The impact in terms of changed lines is pretty small. I'm not sure how
this impacts non-linux / non-gcc systems since the sparse checker comes
from a linux background and uses gcc extensions.
Possibly this could be handled a definition:
#ifndef _LINUX_TYPES_H
typedef uint32_t __be32
typedef uint64_t __be64
#endif
