Sorry I'm not familiar with USB... Are the bits being manipulated here
(i.e. USB_PORTSC1_WKOC | USB_PORTSC1_WKDS | USB_PORTSC1_WKCN)
standardized USBisms, or some custom Tegra stuff?

Anyway, is the solution here to do:

val = readl(addr)

// i.e. add the following line:
val &= ~(all write-to-clear bits);

if (enable) val |= wake; else val &= ~wake;

writel(val, addr)

... or is there more broken than just that?

Also note that the driver is already doing exactly what is in these new
functions; the code is just being split out so that only the EHCI driver
touches EHCI registers, and the PHY driver only touches PHY registers.
Still, I'll admit it's a good time to fix any mistakes in this part of
the code.
