fair enough.

just like OMAP...

Wow, that's something you should never do. PORTSC register belongs to
the EHCI controller and those bits are reserved for future use and they
*MUST* return zero. I wouldn't be surprised if current EHCI driver
assumes those bits will be zero and/or makes sure they're set to zero
when writing to PORTSC register.

What if after configuring those two bits, ehci-hcd.ko clears them by
accident ? Your platform won't work.

not sure I want to sign-off such a patch. I understand it's how your HW
was done, but this shouldn't have been done, really.

Alan, what do you think ? Are you ok with PHY driver overwritting PORTSC
register ?
