It's not about endianness. It means 64 bit is written by 2 of 32 bit.
It's when low-high / high-low order is needed.

This quirk is for the controller that has a limitation in supporting
separate ERSTBA_HI and ERSTBA_LO programming.

I've copied below from other reply to tell why this is needed.

I've found out the limitation of Synopsys dwc3 controller. This can work
on Host mode using xHCI. A Register related to ERST should be written
high-low order not low-high order. Registers are always written low-high order
following xHCI spec.(64-bit written is done in each 2 of 32-bit)
That's why new quirk is needed for workaround. This quirk is used not in
dwc3 controller itself, but passed to xhci quirk eventually. That's because
this issue occurs in Host mode using xHCI.

dwc3 and xhci are affected.
