endian patches

[Tobin C. Harding]

Should [drivers/staging/*] patches to endian code be tested on hardware
before submission?

During recent development of ks7010 driver, and from watching patch
review on devel at linuxdriverproject.org, I formed the opinion that
patches fixing endian issues need to be tested on hardware before they
can be *guaranteed* to be correct.

Is this opinion well founded?

thanks,
Tobin.
