I know I missed the first round of discussion where this was
suggested, but I don't think it's a good idea to pull the whole
hc_driver structure out into every platform implementation. It will
lead to duplication, then to future additions only being applied to
some of the implementations and everything getting out of sync. This
is already a problem with the PCI/plat split (e.g. the LPM functions
were only added to xhci-pci even though they should apply to both).
Also, if I'm not mistaken this code would fail to compile as a module
(you are referencing lots of symbols that are internal to the xhci-hcd
module).

I think at the very least you should add a function
"xhci_default_driver(struct hc_driver *driver)" to xhci-plat.c (or
even better to xhci.c and use it for PCI as well) that initializes all
function pointers to the default (internal) symbols, and can then be
overridden afterwards.
