Sorry, if it means
"we define big-endian as default settings,
and user can select little-endian by using sh-eth,edmac-little-endian"
then, it is nice.
Then, it can be "Option" properties.

I meant that I could find "sh-eth,edmac-endian" operation,
but, couldn't find "sh-eth,endian" operation on sh_eth_parse_dt()
and on Example either.
