Yeah, I figured that myself meanwhile ;-) I now have a fairly nice
implementation, which does away with the extra clocks and resets from
the EHCI/OHCI nodes, and just adds one extra clock to the PHY node. The
rest is power domains properties.

Thanks!
I will post what I have, just need to find some solution for the RTC
clock bits.
