I don't find those options useless. If you think the defauts are not the
best change them but I find these options relevant. You don't always want
the support for BE on PPC ... if the only controller you have is pci ...
or if you're on a soc that use little endian ...

I tend to agree with Matt here.

Do we really need to stop supporting the old values right now ?

IMHO, Changing to the usb-ohci with a property sounds fine to me if you
really want to but don't drop support for the old values. They are not
"bad". Change the dts to reflect the fact that the new "way" is preferred
and a comment somewhere in the code and that should be fine.
