These need to be combined into a single patch. As it stands now, if
someone applies patch 1/2 but not 2/2 (which could happen in the middle
of a bisection, for example), the driver will fail to build.


+#define DRIVER_DESC "Fsl EHCI driver"

...

-static const struct hc_driver fsl_ehci_hc_driver = {
- .description = hcd_name,
- .product_desc = "Freescale On-Chip EHCI Host Controller",

How is anybody supposed to know what "Fsl" means? Your new DRIVER_DESC
string should be more like the old .product_desc string.

-/**
- * usb_hcd_fsl_probe - initialize FSL-based HCDs
+/*
+ * fsl_ehci_drv_probe - initialize FSL-based HCDs
* @drvier: Driver to be used for this HCD
* @pdev: USB Host Controller being probed
* Context: !in_interrupt()
@@ -45,8 +54,7 @@

*/
-static int usb_hcd_fsl_probe(const struct hc_driver *driver,
- struct platform_device *pdev)
+static int fsl_ehci_drv_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{

Since you eliminated the const struct hc_driver *driver parameter from
this function, you should also eliminate the corresponding line from
the kerneldoc above the function. (Note that the line even misspells
"driver"!)
