For this to work correctly on little-endian hosts, don't access the
device-tree properties directly in native endianness, but use the
of_property_read_u32() helper.

This bug in older U-Boots is definitely PowerPC-specific, so could you
change this so that it reports an error on ARM if brg-frequency is
zero, and displays a warning on PowerPC?

I know that this is technically correct, but it's obfuscated IMHO.
'val' is set correctly only when of_property_read_u32(...) is "false",
which is doubly-weird because of_property_read_u32(...) doesn't
actually return a boolean.

I would rather you break this into two if-statements like the original code.

Sure, I can do that.

That would be a separate patch, this patch is only concerned with
eliminating the implicit assumption of the host being big-endian. And
there's already been some pushback to adding arch-specific ifdefs (which
I agree with, but as I responded there see as the lesser evil), so
unless there's a very good reason to add that complexity, I'd rather not.

We don't want to encourage people to introduce device trees that don't 
have the brg-frequency property in them.

Yeah, workarounds like this should be as targeted as possible.  If we knew the
specific chips/boards on which U-Boot has this problem, then limiting it to
those would have been even better (e.g. fix up the device tree from the
platform code), but at this point containing the damage to PPC seems like the
most reasonable approach.  It's not relevant to this specific patch, but it is
relevant to a patchset expanding the set of platforms on which this code
builds.
