Glue code initializes  following  registers on the host 

1) initializing interrupt enable
2) OVC detection timer
3) suspend/ resume timer register

Without glue code, interrupt generation is disabled.

This driver is almost similar to generic ehci-platform except that it needs to do
some platform initialization as mentioned above. If  I am correct, we cannot do 
any platform initialization in generic code. 

The reason for the new driver is because of the below discussion
