Fix the grammar, please.

This line never got moved into spear_ehci_hcd_drv_probe().

I strongly believe that the name "ehci" should be reserved for
variables of type struct ehci_hcd.  Here and in the start, stop, and
remove routines, please use "spear_ehci" as the name for a variable of
type struct spear_ehci.  Or whatever else you want -- just don't call
it "ehci" or "ehci_p".
