The ULPI bus can be built as a module, and it will soon be calling these functions when it supports probing devices from DT. Export them so they can be used by the ULPI module.

Must have been some bad rebase. Peter, can you fix it while applying or should I resend this patch?But, this is device tree patch. I can only get chipidea part and other USB patches if Greg agrees.Were you expecting Rob to take the drivers/of/* patches? Sorry I thought Rob acked them so they could go through usb with the other changes.I am just worried about possible merge error when linus pulls both OF and USB tree. Greg, is it ok the OF patches through USB tree with OF maintainer's ack?May I suggest putting the OF patches on an immutable branch so other subsystems can pull them in without pulling in the USB patches? At least I want to use them in the I2C subsystem, and in the sunxi-rsb driver.Do you have patches using this already. If not, it is starting to get a bit late for v4.10. I can apply this, but then you'll just be pulling in other DT patches.
Not sure what you mean by "using" this...
I have patches which use this to add DT-based modalias entries for
module auto-loading to i2c and sunxi-rsb that I haven't sent.
As far as DT usage goes, we already need this for the axp20x mfd driver.
There are 2 variants, i2c and sunxi-rsb. For the I2C variant a fix was
sent to fix module auto-loading by using the I2C client ID table:
mfd: axp20x-i2c: Add i2c-ids to fix module auto-loading
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/lee/mfd.git/commit/?h=for-mfd-next&id=b7142a19321484bd7681aa547c1d50148c8e2825
But for the sunxi-rsb variant such a fix does not exist, as the bus
does not have a separate ID table. It uses DT exclusively.
