    EHCI: centralize controller initialization · 1a49e2ac
    Alan Stern authored
    This patch (as1564c) converts the EHCI platform drivers to use the
    central ehci_setup() routine for generic controller initialization
    rather than each having its own idiosyncratic approach.
    
    The major point of difficulty lies in ehci-pci's many vendor- and
    device-specific workarounds.  Some of them have to be applied before
    calling ehci_setup() and some after, which necessitates a fair amount
    of code motion.  The other platform drivers require much smaller
    changes.
    
    One point not addressed by the patch is whether ports should be
    powered on or off following initialization.  The different drivers
    appear to handle this pretty much at random.  In fact it shouldn't
    matter, because the hub driver turns on power to all ports when it
    binds to the root hub.  Straightening that out will be left for
    another day.
