A patch that went into Linux-4.4 to fix big-endian mode on a Lantiq MIPS system unfortunately broke big-endian operation on PowerPC APM82181 as reported by Christian Lamparter, and likely other systems.
It actually introduced 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. This patch is a simple revert for all architectures other than MIPS, in the hope that we can more easily backport it to fix the regression on PowerPC and ARM systems without breaking the Lantiq system again. We should follow this up with a more elaborate change to add runtime detection of endianess, to make sure it also works on all other combinations of architectures and implementations of the usb-dwc2 device. That patch however will be fairly large and not appropriate for backports to stable kernels.
