Right. For a platform with a DWC3 controller, have DT or whatever set up a second memory resource in the platform device, and have xhci_plat_probe() look for that one first. If it finds it, it uses that resource instead of the first one. If it doesn't find the second resource (not a DWC3 platform) then it uses the first one like it does today. Then you don't need to have dwc3 set up the xhci resource like it does today. Seems cleaner to me. 'Course it's incompatible with what you have today, I guess that's the major drawback. -- Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
