Well, it seems to still call things based on #ifdef CONFIG_* instead
of testing for whatever "errata" bit or flag you can initialize.
A proper approach is to have the OF probe code detect via some
device-tree compatible testing or such, that it's indeed hitting the
broken chip, use that to set a quirk in the controller, and then
have the core ehci-hub.c code do whatever it has to do based on
the presence of that quirk.
Ben.
