Thank you very much for this pointer, Jean! I've read through these
threads and to summarize, some arch maintainers' main point against that
patchset is that (recent) drivers should generally support both, LE and
BE.
It is interesting to note that Chen Gang had already addressed the very
same issue (Hisax NetJet driver) by the far more general approach
proposed by David Miller here, namely by introducing an
"across-the-board-available endianess Kconfig option".
So unless you really want to have such an option and ping me, I will not
do another patch in the mood of Chen Gang's original one.

I fully agree.

Note that Chen Gang (Cc'd) attempted the same almost a year ago:
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/7540/
then:
http://marc.info/?t=14095865642&r=1&w=2
The idea was great IMHO but it did not work out, and I can't remember
why.

Thanks!
Regarding the general Kconfig endianess symbol, I will do another patch
based on the information of
git grep '_endian\.h' -- arch/
and supply every arch with either of CONFIG_CPU_{LITTLE,BIG}_ENDIAN if
lacking.

[PATCH] isdn: disable HiSax NetJet driver on microblaze arch
Fix an allmodconfig compilation failer on microblaze due to big endian architectures being apparently unsupported by the NetJet code: drivers/isdn/hisax/nj_s.c: In function 'setup_netjet_s': drivers/isdn/hisax/nj_s.c:265:2: error: #error "not running on big endian machines now" Modify the relevant Kconfig such that the NetJet code is not built on microblaze anymore. Note that endianess on microblaze is not determined through Kconfig, but by means of a compiler provided CPP macro, namely __MICROBLAZEEL__. However, gcc defaults to big endianess on that platform.
