Have you tried to use ehci-platform on VIA/WMT devices? If it works
(which I would expect), I believe it's better to include OF support
into ehci-platform and drop ehci-vt8500 completely after existing
boards are converted to Device Tree. When writing ehci-vt8500, I
mostly only copied stuff from the PCI version and made it initialize
from the platform bus (nothing specific to vt8500).

Thanks,
Alexey

Alexey,

The biggest problem I have at the moment is that its very hard to test anything
as I only have a WM8650 which isn't supported in mainline.

I think I have a local copy of 'our' repo on my laptop - If I do, I'll try changing the
platform_device to use ehci_platform and see if it works.

Arnd,

There isn't any reason why it couldn't be uhci_of. I was simply trying to preserve
our existing platform support without having to introduce more patches for the
board files. The existing uhci-grlib is probably a better candidate though as I noticed
its been updated to support OF since I wrote this driver, and this driver is based off
that one.

Regards

Tony P
