Subject: [PATCH] usb: ehci-fsl: Fix use of private data to avoid
 -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warning

In the course of fixing up the usages of flexible arrays, Gustavo
submitted a patch updating the ehci-fsl driver.  However, the patch
was wrong because the driver was using the .priv member of the
ehci_hcd structure incorrectly.  The private data is not supposed to
be a wrapper containing the ehci_hcd structure; it is supposed to be a
sub-structure stored in the .priv member.

Fix the problem by replacing the ehci_fsl structure with
ehci_fsl_priv, containing only the private data, along with a suitable
conversion macro for accessing it.  This removes the problem of having
data follow a flexible array member.
