%p4cc ?

The latter is GCC extension, while above is C standard. Former is slightly
better I think. Though see below.

Why not to do it once by a flag and do reset it once?

	u32 tmp = *fourcc;
	bool be4cc = tmp & BIT(31);

	tmp &= BIT(31);

On top of that, as promised above, why not simple do it in a simpler way, i.e.
using standard idiom:

	for (i = 0; i < sizeof(*fourcc); i++) {
		if (buf < end)
			*buf = tmp >> (i * 8);
		buf++;
	}
?

Another possibility

	u8 ch[8];

	if (*fourcc & BIT(31)) {
		put_unaligned_be32(tmp, &ch[0]);
		strcpy(&ch[4], "-BE");
	} else {
		put_unaligned_le32(tmp, &ch[0]);
		strcpy(&ch[4], "-LE");
	}
	return string(buf, end, &ch[0], spec);
