Adding the inclusions of <string.h> and <mntent.h> look fine,
but rather than testing for endian.h, it seems we can do away with
it altogether.  Even the __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN
constants aren't really required.  Rather, all you need is
an indication (dare I say boolean?) of whether a fileTypeInfo
entry is big- or little-endian.  However, even though the
current code treats this field as effectively boolean
(testing a single value and then "else" for the rest),
we can leave it as a wider enum.

I propose this:

Subject: [PATCH] portability: don't include <endian.h>

* src/storage_backend_fs.c: Don't include <endian.h>: not needed.
(LV_BIG_ENDIAN, LV_LITTLE_ENDIAN): Define.
Use those instead of __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN.
