While working on enabling queued rwlock on SPARC, found
this following code in include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h
which uses CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to clear a byte.

static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock)
 {
        return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN);
 }

Problem is many of the fixed big endian architectures don't define
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and clears the wrong byte.

Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the fixed big endian architecture to fix it.

Also found few more references of this config parameter in
drivers/of/base.c
drivers/of/fdt.c
drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c
drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c
Be aware that this may cause regressions if someone has worked-around
problems in the above code already. Remove the work-around.
