The idea is reasonable enough, I suppose (but where does this stop? Before you know it, every function normally carried out by the host controller will actually be handled by a platform-specific piece of hardware!) The implementation leaves something to be desired. Instead of keeping the current port-power code in ehci-hcd inline, as it is, you should define a default callback routine to do the work. Then the override can replace the default callback.
