The WRGG images exist in both big and little endian variants,
as can be seen from the image generator in
tools/firmware-utils/src/mkwrggimg.c, you either pass
the "-b" flag or not. The D-Link DIR-685 is using little
endian images so we need to support splitting these.

Detect endianness like this: if the kernel entity size
gets silly big (bigger than the flash memory) we are
probably using the wrong endianness.

Example: my kernel of 0x0067ff64 was switched around by
wrong endianness and detected as 0x64ff67a0 (the actual
size in swapped endianness + header 0xa0).
