usb: dwc2: fix regression on big-endian PowerPC/ARM systems

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 endianness, 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.

Felipe suggested a different approach, using an endianness switching
register to always put the device into LE mode, but unfortunately
the dwc2 hardware does not provide a generic way to do that. Also,
I see no practical way of addressing the problem more generally by
patching architecture specific code on MIPS.
