Andreas Färber 81631e49a6 contrib/loaders: Enforce Little Endian ARM machine code
arm-none-eabi target triplet defaults to Little Endian, and so far any
submitted machine code snippets have been verified to be Little Endian.
However a user might override [ARM_]CROSS_COMPILE with an armeb toolchain,
potentially resulting in invalid machine code.

Let's be safe and enforce Little Endian mode for assembler and compiler.

Andreas Färber 43ff5acd45 flash: New Spansion FM4 flash driver
The Spansion FM4 family of microcontrollers does not offer a way to
identify the chip model nor the flash size, except for Dual Flash vs.
regular layout. Therefore the family is passed as argument and
wildcard-matched - MB9BFx6x and S6E2CC families are supported.

Iterations showed that ...
1) Just doing the flash command sequence from SRAM loader code for each
half-word took 20 minutes for an 8 KB block.
2) Doing the busy-wait in the loader merely reduced the time to 19 minutes.
3) Significant performance gains were achieved by looping in loader code
rather than in OpenOCD and by maximizing the batch size across sectors,
getting us down to ~2 seconds for 8 KB and ~2.5 minutes for 1.1 MB.
(Tested with SK-FM4-176L-S6E2CC-ETH v11, CMSIS-DAP v23.)

gcc, objcopy -Obinary and bin2char.sh are used for automating the
integration of hand-written assembler snippets.
