Reasonable.

Minor nit: Since hostpc is nominally an array, IMO it would be a little 
clearer to define bcm_iproc_insnreg01 as hostpc[0] and then do the 
ehci_writel to &ehci->regs->bcm_iproc_insnreg01.  That makes it look 
more like an ordinary structure member.

Also IMO, it's better to put the #define's before the structure 
definitions.

In theory, this should go before the usb_add_hcd() call because 
afterward the controller is active.  But you can't put it before 
ehci->regs has been assigned, which happens in ehci_setup().  Probably 
the best place is at the end of ehci_platform_reset().
