Reading throught the new driver, I noticed that this cannot work on big-endian CPUs, and the old DAC960 had exactly the same behavior. To document this for the future, add a Kconfig dependency that prevents it from being included in big-endian kernels. Since the hardware is really old and we never had a working driver on it for big-endian platforms, it's unlikely to make a difference to users.
