What makes a board properly built and how can a user determine whether their board is?
As of now this flag assumes that the bootloader is in LE mode. It is left to the kernel to switch to BE mode. This flag makes the kernel set necessary flags in SCTLR registers on entry.
I would suggest that you say that instead. The existing wording makes it sound strictly hardware related.

This is a generic patch for the architecture. Each driver needs to make necessary changes keeping the kernel endianness in mind. We have tested these patches on our X-Gene platform.
Perhaps it would be clearer to say "drivers" instead of "board ports" then. I thought the comment was referring to code inside mach-* or plat-* directories.
