The patch that caused the problem had multiple issues:

- it broke big-endian ARM kernels: any machine that was working
  correctly with a little-endian kernel is no longer using byteswaps
  on big-endian kernels, which clearly breaks them.
- On PowerPC the same thing must be true: if it was working before,
  using big-endian kernels is now broken. Unlike ARM, 32-bit PowerPC
  usually uses big-endian kernels, so they are likely all broken.
- The barrier for dwc2_writel is on the wrong side of the __raw_writel(),
  so the MMIO no longer synchronizes with DMA operations.
- On architectures that require specific CPU instructions for MMIO
  access, using the __raw_ variant may turn this into a pointer
  dereference that does not have the same effect as the readl/writel.

I think we can simply make this set of accessors architecture-dependent
(MIPS vs. the rest of the world) to revert ARM and PowerPC back to
the working version.
