How about adding kernel configuration to adjust offset for FUSBH200 in
ehci_def.h? So port_status would be in offset 0x20 from ehci_regs.

For example,

        /* ASYNCLISTADDR: offset 0x18 */
        u32             async_next;     /* address of next async queue head */

#ifndef CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD_FUSBH200
        u32             reserved1[2];

        /* TXFILLTUNING: offset 0x24 */
        u32             txfill_tuning;  /* TX FIFO Tuning register */
#define TXFIFO_DEFAULT  (8<<16)         /* FIFO burst threshold 8 */

        u32             reserved2[6];

        /* CONFIGFLAG: offset 0x40 */
        u32             configured_flag;
#define FLAG_CF         (1<<0)          /* true: we'll support "high speed" */

#else
        u32             reserved1;
#endif
        /* PORTSC: offset 0x44 */
        u32             port_status[0]; /* up to N_PORTS */


Furthermore, there are PORT_POWER, PORT_OWNER, PORT_LED_XXX,
PORT_TEST, PORT_WKCONN_E, PORT_WKDISC_E, PORT_WKOC_E absent in
port_status of FUSBH200. Also PORT_OC and PORT_OCC are in another
register. Is it ok to use quirk flag also?

Thank you for your help.
