This makes no sense: how would the eDMA hardware know what endianess
the CPU is using to write this data? Have you tried this running on
the same hardware with both big-endian and little-endian kernels?

Also, you access this as little-endian data unconditionally rather
than cpu-endian as the comment suggests, maybe that is what you meant
here?

You seem to have another preexisting bug: The tcd pointer actually does not
point to mmio registers here at all, but instead points to memory that
has been returned from dma_pool_alloc. It is not valid to use writel()
on such memory, that is only meant to work on real MMIO registers.

You should use regular assignments to the registers here, e.g.
	
	tcd->saddr = cpu_to_le32(src);
	tcd->daddr = cpu_to_le32(dst);
