[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] topology: Quit and show error message on big-endian machines

[mengdong.lin at linux.intel.com]

From: Mengdong Lin <mengdong.lin at linux.intel.com>

This tool can only support little-endian machines atm.
Many codes directly refer to  __le32/__le64 variables of ABI objects,
so will be broken on big-endian machines.
