Yes. Most systems that use this controller are big endian SPARC32. The
device I am developing this on is a demo chip where the host controller
was implemented as little endian (it is configurable at implementation
time).

Thank you. I will create generic functions in uhci-hcd.c instead.

I assumed that the pci_write_config_word()s in uhci_*reset_hc would be
needed in the case where GRUSBHC was used and there also was another
UCHI controller connected via PCI in the system. After looking at the
spec I suppose that it will work, as you say, without the writes to the
legacy support register.
