Subject: [ 51/91] USB: ohci-at91: add a reset function to fix race condition

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@...el.com>

commit 07e4e556eff4938eb2edf2591de3aa7d7fb82b52 upstream.

A possible race condition appears because we are not initializing
the ohci->regs before calling usb_hcd_request_irqs().
We move the call to ohci_init() in hcd->driver->reset() instead of
hcd->driver->start() to fix this.
This was experienced when we share the same IRQ line between OHCI and EHCI
controllers.
