As you noted, your firmware does not show which usb host controllers
are OHCI and which are not.  It has a lot of other problems as well.
Also, it's a lot of code to do things this way.  Which is why I suggested
the "heavy handed" workaround: it is simple and should work on even the
most broken OF implementations.

To figure out which host controllers are OHCI, you'll need to look
at the PCI class code (0c0310 for OHCI), since your OF doesn't want
to tell you.

Sounds like it should work, yes.
