I recently posted some questions to linux-usb at vger about big_endian_mmio 
and the definition of the HC_LENGTH and HC_VERSION macros. The thread 
can be found here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=126441448626924&w=2

The EHCI specification defines the CAPLENGTH register as an 8-bit 
register at byte offset 0 and HCIVERSION as a 16-bit register at byte 
offset 2. Performing a 32-bit read on a big endian system should 
therefore results in the following organisation (MSB .. LSB):
CAPLENGTH : RESERVED : HCIVERSION

The macros for reading CAPLENGTH and HCIVERSION (defined in 
include/linux/usb/ehci-def.h) look like:

#define HC_LENGTH(p)		(((p)>>00)&0x00ff)	/* bits 7:0 */
#define HC_VERSION(p)		(((p)>>16)&0xffff)	/* bits 31:16 */

That is, they select the registers as they were organized within the 
word according to little endian. Is this not a problem for your 
controller/driver?

Best regards,
