I think you're doing it the wrong way around: You have a specialized
version of the generic xhci-plat driver. The normal way to handle this
is to have a loadable module that contains all the Armada specific
code and that registers a platform_driver. In the probe() function of
that driver, you can do the platform specific setup and then call
the generic xhci_plat_probe() function, which of course has to
be provided using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

We have just spent a lot of effort converting the EHCI and OHCI drivers
to the more generic model, so we shouldn't do it the wrong way for
xhci. I just noticed that we already have this creeping into the 
xhci driver in the from of a common xhci_hcd_init() function calling
xhci_register_pci() and xhci_register_plat(). It would be good to
clean that up at the same time, it should only require exporting
a few symbols from xhci.c for use by the two front-ends.
