[Bug 1308760] [NEW] lshw doesn't deal w/ device-tree endianness

[dann frazier]

Public bug reported:

lshw parses /proc/device-tree to read system properties on device-tree-
based platforms. But, on little endian systems like armhf and arm64, it
doesn't properly convert the data, which should always be big endian.
This can cause incorrect data to be reported. For instance, a 1GHz cpu
might be reported as 13MHz because lshw reads a frequency of 0xca9a3b
(13MHz) instead of 0x3b9aca00 (1GHz).

** Affects: lshw (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
