Suppose you do exactly what Arnd proposed: add "select USB_EHCI_HCD" to
the Kconfig entries for each of the platform glue drivers.  Then
consider what would happen in a build where USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI is "n"
but one of those glue drivers is enabled.  There would be conflicting
requirements on USB_EHCI_HCD: The new "select" would force it to be on,
but the existing "depends on USB && USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI" would force it
to be off.  The build would fail.

In order to prevent this, you have to make sure that each glue driver
depends on USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI.  A simple way to do this is to surround
the Kconfig entries for those drivers with "if USB && 
USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI" ... "endif".

Come to think of it, the "if USB" part really should protect the entire 
file.
