[U-Boot] [PATCH] mxs: mxsboot: fix endianess for sd boot images

Running mxsboot on a big-endian system produces a sd image which cannot be started by the i.MX28 ROM. It complains on the debug uart as following: 0x8020a009 0x80502008 0x8020a009 0x80502008 ...
Enforcing all fields within the BCB to little-endian make the image bootable again.

Looks ok to me !

Me neither.
host. I am expecting there are similar issues with mkimage and imximage, too....
Fix it and send patch :b
