USB: descriptor handling

Hi,

I found a bug when working with the u-boot USB subsystem on IXP425 processor
(big endian Xscale aka ARMv5).
I recognized that the second usb_endpoint_descriptor of the attached memory
stick was corrupted.

The reason for this are the packed structures below (either u-boot and
u-boot-usb):

--------------
/* Endpoint descriptor */
struct usb_endpoint_descriptor {
	unsigned char  bLength;
	unsigned char  bDescriptorType;
	unsigned char  bEndpointAddress;
	unsigned char  bmAttributes;
	unsigned short wMaxPacketSize;
	unsigned char  bInterval;
	unsigned char  bRefresh;
	unsigned char  bSynchAddress;

} __attribute__ ((packed));
/* Interface descriptor */
struct usb_interface_descriptor {
	unsigned char  bLength;
	unsigned char  bDescriptorType;
	unsigned char  bInterfaceNumber;
	unsigned char  bAlternateSetting;
	unsigned char  bNumEndpoints;
	unsigned char  bInterfaceClass;
	unsigned char  bInterfaceSubClass;
	unsigned char  bInterfaceProtocol;
	unsigned char  iInterface;

	unsigned char  no_of_ep;
	unsigned char  num_altsetting;
	unsigned char  act_altsetting;
	struct usb_endpoint_descriptor ep_desc[USB_MAXENDPOINTS];
} __attribute__ ((packed));
------------

As usb_endpoint_descriptor is only 7byte in length, the start of all
odd ep_desc[] structures is not word aligned. This makes wMaxPacketSize
of these structures also not word aligned.

ARMv5 Architecture however does not support non-aligned multibyte
data type (see A2.8 of ARM Architecture Reference Manual).
