[U-Boot-Users] CramFS endianness

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.
