I am working on it, but there are two versions, this one and
chipidea's.

Anyway, I will send a patch to fix this problem.
if you're already using chipidea, then send me a patch removing this
driver and focus your effort on chipidea.

Now, not all of FSL i.mx USB can move to use chipidea due to some
platform and USB PHY problem.

then we need to target fixing those problems and moving to chipidea
completely at some point. There's no reason to duplicate efforts if we
already have a re-usable driver in tree, right ?

Let's fix this build break and focus on making sure all i.MX platforms
can use chipidea so we can drop fsl udc on next merge window. That would
be a great patchset to see.
I do agree that we need move to use the chipidea driver and eventually remo=
ve the fsl udc driver, but there were many users of the current driver such=
 as PowerPC and Coldfire platforms besides the i.MX platforms.  The support=
 for them with chipidea driver could also be broken for now.  I would sugge=
st to have a transitional period that both drivers are kept while new devel=
opment be based on the new driver.

Added Ramneek.  What do you think of the current status for chipidea driver=
 on PowerPC platforms?
