All the WARN_ON_ONCE uses are not necessary.

There's no reason to use __ prefixed argument names here.

I don't believe used-once macro defines are useful.

This is very difficult to read and is size dependent on
the size of little-endian > big_endian

I'd write it out

	FOURCC_STRING_MAX	sizeof("(xx)(xx)(xx)(xx) little-endian (0x01234567)")

and then not have the define at all but use
the written out string in the declaration.

my_spec isn't usefully named, likely not necessary at all,
and if really necessary, it should be static const

I'd declare the buffer

	char fourcc[sizeof("(xx)(xx)(xx)(xx) little-endian (0x01234567)"];

like all the other specialty functions do.

There's no reason to use __ prefixed variable names here either.
All the other specialty function use:

	char *p = <output_buffer_name>;

just int i; is typical

	bool be = fourcc & BIT(31);

Please remove the fourcc >>= 8 from the loop and use

		unsigned char c = fourcc >> (i*8);

If I understand this correctly, I think this is simpler:

		if (isascii(c) && isprint(c)) {
			*s++ = c;
		} else {
			*s++ = '(';
			s = hex_byte_pack(s, c);
			*s++ = ')';
		}

If you size the initial buffer correctly, strscpy is unnecessary.

	strcpy(s, <bit31> ? "big endian" : "little endian");
	s += strlen(s);

		*s++ = ' ';
		*s++ = '(';
