Hi Kevin
The usb2 host of omap3/4/5 silicons has the following ips
1. UHH ( /drivers/mfd/omap-usb-host.c ) -- platform driver
2. TLL ( /drivers/mfd/omap-usb-host.c )
3. ehci ( /drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c) - platform driver
4. ohci ( /drivers/usb/host/ohci-omap3.c ) - platform drivers
The 3 platform drivers exists to make the ehci/ohci functional.
The UHH-TLL or usb host core driver is the parent platform driver of
ehci and ohci.
This parent driver doe the clock enable/disable which common for both
ehci and ohci.
takes care of common port setting and clocks during suspend and resume
and ensures
that there is no overwrites by ehci and ohci platform drivers.
The commit id 354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac titled
"Fix OMAP EHCI suspend/resume failure (i693)" was handling the clocks in
the ehci driver it self, instead it should be handled by usb host core
driver as per above
explanation. so, the UHH-TLL Driver should handle the changes done by
354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac.
hence this patch removes the changed done by the commit id
354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac
suppose if this patch is not included, then it will cause the
following two problems
1. crash during the system boot
- observed in beagle xm , with NFS file system
the Ethernet is through
ehci driver , since the ehci ports clocks are not handled properly
by this commit id
354ab8567ae3107a8cbe7228c3181990ba598aac, it leads to crash
2. crash during suspend/resume
- observed in beagle xm with ram fs
if the ehci is driver is included
and if it tries to suspend it leads to crash
