The 'big-endian-data' property is originally used to indicate whether the LSB firstly or MSB firstly will be transmitted to the CODEC or received from the CODEC, and there has nothing relation to the memory data.
Both Nicolin [1] and Mark [2] asked for the old property to be kept around for compatibility reasons. Those requests seem to have been ignored entirely; the commit message doesn't even describe why you believe removing support for the old property is safe.
The response was that the relevant chips aren't out in the wild so it's vanishingly unlikely that anyone would have a real DT with this option enabled. I'll defer to Nicolin on if that's the case or not.
