Not necessarily: I think superh is more like the old 'BE32' variant of Arm
big-endian, in that on-chip registers are accessed in CPU-endian byte order,
while access to external RAM is byte-swapped.

I think I'd just leave it as it is. Unless someone wants to try out this
board in both big-endian and little-endian configurations and also
listen to the audio output, it's impossible to know whether it is actually
broken. sound/soc/sh/dma-sh7760.c does have a comment from 2007
saying "// FIXME: little-endian only for now".
