On certain 44x set of SoCs, only one controller is able to function,
e.g. technically they are mutually exclusive.

There used to be recommendation to use only hi-speed or full-speed
devices with specific conditions, when respective module was unloaded.
Later, it was observed that ohci suspend is enough to keep things
going, and it was turned into workaround, as explained below.

What stands about noted gotchas, I agree and will fix them, thanks for
looking through the patch. I agree this doesn't look pleasant, but
unfortunately is the only way to say use USB keyboard, and hi-speed
memory stick at the same time.

The whole thing is supposed to be used only on some powerpc platforms,
so I'll move or #ifdef the upper.

I need to reemphasize, that upper is not "normal", but unfortunately
the only way to have both full and hi-speed usb live in peace with
44xEPX family. Quirks are not going to be executed on other chip
anyway, and on chip in question, it was tested and works stable enough.

I can add an explicit warning, that workaround is being utilised, to
make things clear if it will be considered appropriate.

Thanks,
