I've noticed that VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN in drivers/cfb_console.c is not really well named. What it does is swap bytes around if the frame buffer has a /different/ endianness from the host. If you start with a little endian host and frame buffer and define VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN the drawn colors get incorrectly byte swapped.
the attached patch changes VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN to VIDEO_FB_OTHER_ENDIAN to make it clearer what it does.
