Some USB controllers have common resources (IRQ, register address

difficult to meet HNP timings.  Hence eliminate delays involved in
root hub initialization for B-host.

I wonder if this is the best approach. Would it be easier to not touch
usbcore, probe the entire stack during boot but have a "core" layer
handling synchronization to shared resources ?

Maybe you could make your device an MFD device that allocates
platform_devices for its children (HCI, UDC, OTG, etc) and pass in a
bunch of read/write functions as platform_data for them to use as
accessors to shared register space ?!? Would that work ?

This patch also marks hnp_supported flag TURE for B-host while

s/TURE/TRUE
