Actually most of mips chips supported by barebox are little-endian only
(bcm47xx, loongson, xburst). So all little-endian support work was
already done before.
Malta is bi-endian but I suppose little-endian mode is more popular
so it is handy to have real working little-endian qemu-malta support.
Nevertheless I prefer to use big-endian qemu-malta most of the time
as it does not need this odd boot image file byte swapping (see
Documentation-related second patch in this series).
