Anyway, this works fine on little endian, but the qemu-system-sh4eb

That is using sh_eth, right?
Last time I tried booting a big-endian ARM kernel on R-Car M2-W,
the Linux kernel booted fine, except for Ethernet. So sh_eth is definitely
not big-endian clean.
qemu-system-sh4{eb} only emulates the R2D+ board, which AFAIK
provides ethernet via a RTL8139 over PCI. While old, RTL8139
is very tested and expected to have endianness well handled.
