Subject: [PATCH v2 06/14] arm64: assembler: Remove endianness helper macros
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 17:37:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907163726.17104-7-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907163726.17104-1-will@kernel.org>

The CPU_LE()/CPU_BE() helper macros are only used by head.S. Since
big-endian support depends on BROKEN, remove the last users along with
the macro definitions. The unused regs_to_64() assembly macro, which
somewhat bizarrely behaves differently depend on the endianness, is also
removed.
