I wasn't sure where the best place to enable 
USB_OHCI_HCD_PLATFORM would be.

Currently USB support on the EP93xx only needs USB_OHCI_HCD
enabled, which is already enabled in the ep93xx_defconfig. I'm not
sure if adding the config option above would create a problem where
the user would need to enable USB_OHCI_HCD in drivers/usb then 
have to go back to the arch stuff to enable ARCH_EP93XX_USB.

With the default y above they just have to enable USB_OHCI_HCD
like they currently do.

I'm hoping Alan can provide some feedback.

Hartley
