[v2] isdn: Mark build for telespci and hfc_pci as broken for big endian ARM

With arm:allmodconfig, building the Teles PCI driver fails with

telespci.c:294:2: error: #error "not running on big endian machines now"

Similar, building the driver for HFC PCI-Bus cards fails with

hfc_pci.c:1647:2: error: #error "not running on big endian machines now"

Mark build as broken for big endian ARM machines.

v2: Turns out CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN is not defined for little-endian-only
    architectures. Instead of messing with the overall Kconfig architecture,
    mark build as broken for big endian ARM machines.
    Also updated headline accordingly.

Let's not start getting into the habit of doing this, please.

The reason this isn't easy to do generically from Kconfig is
probably because it almost never makes any sense to do so.

In fact, if you look at telespci.c there are no DMA descriptors,
everything is read using MMIO acccesses via the chips FIFO.  There
really can't be any endianness problems that I see.

Please just remove the CPP checks, that's the best fix.

Thanks.

Both drivers build with arm:allmodconfig if I remove the check,
so I am fine with that. I'll send an updated patch.

Thanks,
