The old exynos USB2 PHY driver is incomplete and has very limited functionality. It needs a complete redesign to support remaining features and this is the reason we decided to develop a new driver from scratch. I believe the way Kamil's driver is designed is definitely the way to go with Samsung's USB2 PHY drivers, especially considering that support for more SoCs using the same framework will be added - S3C64xx, S5PV210, and Exynos5250.
