This patch set adds the USB support for the Armada 38x Armada

mainly to setup the windows memory on the mbus. They also use the same
controller that the other mvebu SoC for EHCI.

usb: ehci-orion: Add the optional PHY support
If you're using a proper phy driver, do you really need a soc specific ehci
driver? I've spend a lot of time during the last release cycle to make
ehci-platform a lot more generic, including adding (optional) phy support to
it. It would be great if the new Armada SoCs could use ehci-platform instead
of extending ehci-orion to cover more models (ideally most ehci-foo drivers
would go away completely). I've no idea how feasible it is to use
ehci-platform in your case, but IMHO it should at least be considered.
Hans,
unfortunately we currently have no USB-PHY driver for the other mvebu
SoCs. I have started some code grabbing for barebox bootloader and plan
to add proper USB-PHYs for Linux later.
There is one thing very specific to mvebu SoCs, which is the mbus:
you need to setup upstream memory windows for the usb bus master.
From my current understanding, that will require at least a minimal
stub to remain for ehci-orion.
I do think that most of the stuff in ehci-orion can (and should) be
replaced with ehci-platform then. So, we definitely consider reusing
the generic foo-platform drivers on all opportunities but IMHO we are
not yet ready for it.
