They do, but you shouldn't use them for MMIO registers normall because of
endianess concerns.

However, FIFOs are special, and I'd assume that the code before this patch
does not work on big-endian systems on which musb_writew is defined
as a little-endian accessor (writew, writew_relaxed, or iowrite16).

The reason is that a FIFO generally exposes bytes in streaming order,
so the first byte in the FIFO has to be copied from a memory buffer
first, while writew would do a byte swap here that is used for MMIO.

This should be reflected in the changelog, and possibly tested with a
big-endian kernel, but the patch looks correct to me.
