I was looking at the ohci-ppc-of driver that has "ohci-bigendian" 
compatible string and enables both be-mmio and be-desc for the device in 
this case. I just wanted to separate mmio and desc stuff for ehci, since 
some devices need be-mmio only.
I'll use "big-endian" property instead of "ehci-be-mmio" compatible 
value. That's a good point, thanks.
Do I have to add "sequoia usb ehci" description to 
Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt?
Do I also have to describe ehci-ppc-of stuff in general?
BTW, I see nothing about ohci-ppc-of there.
Thanks,
Valentine.
