Ok, finally found the time to look through it. Sorry about the long wait

The whole series look good, and its now more in line with how ehci does things (like using *hci_init_driver())

Series still apply nicely on usb-next.

Greg, any chance this still can get to your usb-next and to the 3.18 merge window?
Tegra developers seem eager to get it in, and I feel bad for not reviewing it earlier.
