I don't know what the OMAP driver does this differently.  The only real
reason would be if a board had two distinct kinds of OHCI controllers.  
If the Exynos board doesn't, the simplest approach is to change the
Kconfig file so as to make USB_OHCI_EXYNOS mutually exclusive with
USB_OHCI_HCD_PLATFORM.

However, I would much prefer to see a more general solution, like the
one that was recently merged for EHCI.  Convert ohci-hcd into a
platform-independent library module, and make ohci-exynos, ohci-omap,
and so on into separate driver modules that use the library's
facilities.

I believe Manjunath Goudar <manjunath.goudar@xxxxxxxxxx> may already be 
working on this, under Deepak Saxena.
