I have tried to get physical address from dma_alloc_coherent(),
here is a small part of my patch (just for demonstration):

However ehci_td_buffer() gets buf pointer outside of ehci driver (e.g. via usb_bulk_msg()),
so it is difficult to avoid virt_to_phys() in ehci_td_buffer(), e.g.:

Have you any idea?
