Yes. I agree that powering up the on-board hubs should be done
generically and not in ehci-omap.c. I'm not sure how it can be done in
hub.c.

I'm assuming that such problem is limited to root hub ports where system
designers have the flexibility to provide power to the peripherals
outside the USB Hub specification.

I can think of two solutions

1) Associate the regulators with the root hub _ports_ and enable them as
part of port's power-up routine.

2) Have a global list of regulators that are registered by platform code
and enabled them all at once on hcd init.

Any clues on how (1) could be implemented?
