Sure. That's easy to fix.

OK. I can remove it.

Will fix.

OK.

I use the little-endian as an option to indicate the nature of litten-endian
register. It is default to big-endian if this property doesn't exist. I prefer
this way unless you strongly suggest to add both and throw out an error if
neither exists.

OK.

Will remove.

Thanks for reviewing. I will send a new version after testing.
