Currently ehci-platform is only used in combination with devicetree when used
with some via socs. By extending it to (optionally) get clks and a phy from
devicetree, and enabling / disabling those on power_on / off, it can be used
more generically. Specifically after this commit it can be used for the
ehci controller on Allwinner sunxi SoCs.

Somehow we've ended up with 2 device-bindings documents for ehci-platform.c,
this patch renames and updates one to platform-ehci.txt to reflect that this
is a generic platform driver, and removes the other.

+Generic Platform EHCI controller
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "via,vt8500-ehci" or "wm,prizm-ehci"
+- reg : ehci controller register range (address and length)
+- interrupts : ehci controller interrupt
+
+Optional properties:
+- clocks : a list of phandle + clock specifier pairs, one for each entry
+   in clock-names.
+- clock-names : "clk0", "clk1", ...
+- phys : phy
+- phy-names : "phy0"
+
+Example:
+
+	ehci@d8007900 {
+		compatible = "via,vt8500-ehci";
+		reg = <0xd8007900 0x200>;
+		interrupts = <43>;
+		clocks = <&usb_clk 6>, <&ahb_gates 2>;
+		clock-names = "clk0", "clk1";

I'm really not convinced by this either. It prevents you from doing
anything useful out of these clocks, and the only thing you can
actually do with it is calling clk_get, and that's pretty much it.

What if you some platform needs to adjust the rate of one of the two?

Then it needs its own driver. This is intended as a binding for a
*generic* driver, which is meant to cover simple straight forward
non-pci ohci cases. For more complex cases a separate driver will
need to be written.

I must say I'm becoming a bit unhappy with how the reviews of devicetree
bindings are being done. In one case it is not generic enough (ahci-sunxi).

If I then try to make it more generic in a case where that can actually
be done as the hardware is pretty straight forward, it is not specific enough.
You can simply not have both!

Or wants to cut one but not the other for any reason?

This is another example of non generic behavior, requiring a separate
(small using the existing ohci core) platform glue driver, like the *19* we
already have.

Hans
