I hope it could be another patch. Because it's not clear to
_LITTLE_ENDIAN definition in archs.

eg: Names could be __ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__ CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
SYS_SUPPORTS_LITTLE_ENDIAN __LITTLE_ENDIAN

riscv is little-endian, but no any LITTLE_ENDIAN definition.

So let's keep them in the patch, first, Thx
