Ok, thanks for the clarification!

The easiest change would be to use an anonymous struct like this

/* PORTSC: offset 0x44 */
union {
u32 port_status[15]; /* up to N_PORTS */
/* EHCI 1.1 addendum */
#define PORTSC_SUSPEND_STS_ACK 0
...
#define PORT_RWC_BITS (PORT_CSC | PORT_PEC | PORT_OCC)
struct {
u32 reserved3[9];

/* USBMODE: offset 0x68 */
u32 usbmode; /* USB Device mode */
#define USBMODE_SDIS (1<<3) /* Stream disable */
#define USBMODE_BE (1<<2) /* BE/LE endianness select */
#define USBMODE_CM_HC (3<<0) /* host controller mode */
#define USBMODE_CM_IDLE (0<<0) /* idle state */

u32 reserved4[5];
};
};
u32 reserved5;

It doesn't really improve readability, but it should correctly
reflect the layout as you described it.
