right but our "auxiliary well" keeps PRCM powered which can wake EHCI up
;-)

What I'm saying is that from ehci-omap's perspective, there's very
little difference, specially since we route the wakeup through the same
IRQ line anyway. Perhaps we could take some inspiration from the PCI
land to make our hwmod/omap_device a little easier from driver
perspective.

Or maybe it doesn't make sense ;-)
