i dont see this warning. Is it smatch?

Greg asked to remove the BIG_ENDIAN ifdefs. for BIG_ENDIAN some
calculations are involved that is why the functions are defined.
LITTLE_ENDIAN will use the default read/write provided by fb core.

will do.

i think its already done, with Joe's help.

done.

This one I introduced with the plan that if it is built-in then it will
use the commandline to get the mode, but if it is a module then it will
use module parameters. But later Greg told that framebuffers should not
use module_param. I dont see any reason why a module can nor get the mode
values from the command line. I will test that during this period of the
merge window and prepare the final patch.
