OK, in that case I have no objection to this patch.
I'd like to hold off on applying this though; I suspect I'll want to
take the Tegra USB patches through the Tegra tree rather than the USB
tree again for the 3.10 kernel cycle. I think I may have screwed the
pooch on the DT binding I set up for the USB controller clocks, and
fixing this may require some Tegra DT changes, which would be easiest
taken through the Tegra tree, and so to reduce conflicts in the USB
code, taking the rest through there migth just be easiest.
Alan, Greg, if you're OK with this patch now, or for any revised
version, an Ack so I can take it through the Tegra tree would be great,
thanks.
