kernel: disable CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN in generic config 
Endianness depends on CPU architecture. CONFIG_CPU_(BIG/LITTLE)_ENDIAN should
be enabled on target or subtarget based on SoC architecture.

Fixes warning:
$ make kernel_oldconfig CONFIG_TARGET=subtarget
...
.config:1008:warning: override: CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN changes choice state
....

Summary:
- ARC - only the CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN symbol is defined for this architeture.
  If it is disabled then the processor operates in LITTLE_ENDIAN mode (default),
- ARM32 - CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN symbol available since kernel 5.19. This
  option should be enabled after OpenWRT moves to kernel 6.x. After refreshing
  the kernel, the symbol disappears,
- ARM64 - enabled CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN,
- MIPS - enabled relevant symbols,
- POWERPC -  enabled CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
- UML - Symbols are not defined for this architecture,
- X86 - always little endian. Symbols are not defined for this architecture.

README 

This is intended to be used with OpenWrt project to provide image for use with
QEMU ARM virt machine.

Run with qemu-system-arm

	# boot with initramfs embedded in
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armvirt-32-zImage-initramfs

	# boot with accel=kvm
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt,accel=kvm -cpu host -m 64 -kernel
	openwrt-armvirt-32-zImage-initramfs

	# boot with a separate rootfs
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armvirt-32-zImage \
	  -drive file=openwrt-armvirt-32-root.ext4,format=raw,if=virtio -append 'root=/dev/vda rootwait'

	# boot with local dir as rootfs
	qemu-system-arm -nographic -M virt -m 64 -kernel openwrt-armvirt-32-zImage \
	  -fsdev local,id=rootdev,path=root-armvirt/,security_model=none \
	  -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=rootdev,mount_tag=/dev/root \
	  -append 'rootflags=trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,cache=loose rootfstype=9p'

Run with kvmtool

	# start a named machine
	lkvm run -k openwrt-armvirt-32-zImage -i openwrt-armvirt-32-rootfs.cpio --name armvirt0

	# start with virtio-9p rootfs
	lkvm run -k openwrt-armvirt-32-zImage -d root-armvirt/

	# stop "armvirt0"
	lkvm stop --name armvirt0

	# stop all
	lkvm stop --all

The multi-platform ARMv8 target can be used with QEMU:

	qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic \
		-kernel openwrt-armvirt-64-Image-initramfs \
