    Add support for the framebuffers with non-native endianness.  This is done via
    FBINFO_FOREIGN_ENDIAN flag that will be used by the drivers.  Depending on the
    host endianness this flag will be overwritten by FBINFO_BE_MATH internal flag,
    or cleared.
    
    Tested to work on MPC8360E-RDK (BE) + Fujitsu MINT framebuffer (LE).
