That would falsely return true for unspecified data types, too. I'll go
with a variant that uses an explicit switch.

It's not. Tegra has two FIFOs that can be selected depending on the size
of a transfer. I use this field to detect which FIFO needs to be
selected.

I'm not sure this is very useful. It's pretty trivial how you
concatenate the individual bytes and it actually remove any ambiguity
about the endianness.

The endianness is already documented in the kerneldoc, isn't it? Data ID
followed by Word Count (long packets) or Packet Data (short packets) and
finally the ECC byte. That's the ordering defined in the specification,
so I think it's fairly obvious.
