But after this patch likely EHCI is also broken on these platforms.
The solution is to either guard the USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO/DESC
selects with if USB_EHCI_HCD etc, or make
USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO/DESC not depend on USB_EHCI_HCD etc.

As far as I can tell, USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO/DESC only have any
effect on the ehci_hcd code anyway, so removing the dependencies of
these symbols should be fine and without any side effects, thus allow
platforms/drivers to select them unconditionally.

Greg, what do you think?
