no, but the UDC needs its PHY driver.

I don't know, let me check:

$ make drivers/usb/phy/phy-mv-u3d-usb.o
  CHK     include/config/kernel.release
  CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC      drivers/usb/phy/phy-mv-u3d-usb.o

yup, builds just fine. Even if the ARCH support isn't in place, this
driver is *not* breaking anything, it's not preventing anyone from
getting work done and it might be helping Marvell decrease the amount of
changes they keep out of tree.

I don't see any problems this driver in tree as long as there are people
working on it and I see the latest commit was 10 days ago, it wouldn't
be fair to Marvell to delete their driver if they're still finding ways
to make it useful one way or another.

cheers
