This probably means that the generic musb helpers are not safe to use on big-endian ARM systems (but may work on MIPS). The only one currently not using the generic helpers is blackfin, which is fixed to little endian. > Note that sunxi needs this function because of the register address > translation the sunxi_musb_readb / writeb wrappers are doing which > does not know how to deal with fifo data, and besides that it should > make the generic read / write fifo helpers somewhat faster by removing > an indirect function call. Your sunxi_musb_readw/writew functions however also are endian-safe and seem to get this part right, unlike all other platforms that use the generic __raw_*() accessors. With this patch applied, it should actually work fine, and it would work on other platforms as well if we change all __raw_*() calls outside of musb_default_write_fifo() and musb_default_read_fifo() to use *_relaxed() instead.
