By the way, you don't need to add all this pdata stuff.  You can just 
set hcd->has_tt, ehci->has_synopsys_hc_bug, ehci_big_endian_desc, and 
ehci->big_endian_mmio directly, since you already know what their values 
should be.

It looks like you simply copied the code from the ehci-platform driver.  
But that driver has to handle many different kinds of platform devices, 
so it needs to be told about their individual differences, whereas your 
driver only has to handle one kind.

In fact, there's no obvious reason why you didn't just use the 
ehci-platform driver instead of writing your own driver.  
That's the sort of thing you need to explain the patch description.
