Add a note on requirement a little-endian system
The dt parsing algorithm assumes that a little-endian system is in place and hence most numbers on the DTB blob have to be converted from big-endian to little-endian. I am not planning on changing that any time soon, so let's add this as a requirement. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà <mikisabate@gmail.com>

magically come up with a made up file system or try to fetch something from an
