Yes, although this isn't the first driver to take that approach USB_HCD_BCMA
(bcma-hcd.c) and USB_HCD_SSB (ssb-hcd.c) do much the same thing.

I'm of course happy to change it if required. I see looking through that a lot 
of other platforms do it the way you describe with a

ehci-<platname>.c and ohci-<platname>.c

We don't have anything particularly special, just a couple of reset lines,
clock, phy, etc.

Ok, I'll wait to hear the outcome of Greg/Alans views before either fixing
it or starting over.
