Currently the ppc-of driver uses the compatibility string "usb-ehci". This means platforms that use device-tree and implement an EHCI compatible interface have to either use the ppc-of driver or add a compatible line to the ehci-platform driver. It would be more appropriate for the platform driver to be compatible with "usb-ehci" as non-powerpc platforms are also beginning to utilise device-tree. This patch merges the device tree property parsing from ehci-ppc-of into the platform driver and adds a "usb-ehci" compatibility string. The existing ehci-ppc-of driver is removed and the 440EPX specific quirks are added to the ehci-platform driver. Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <redacted>This patch is also out of date. The compatibility string used by the ehci-platform driver is "generic-ehci".
Ok. I will switch to using "generic-ehci" in the Akebono device tree.
There remains the question of whether to merge ehci-ppc-of into ehci-platform. This would be a rather invasive change, but I suppose we could do it. With adjustments along the lines suggested by Mark Rutland.
As I can use "generic-ehci" to support Akebono I will drop this patch. I can look at merging ehci-ppc-of at some later date if desired (thanks Mark & Tony for reviewing though). - Alistair
