c430131a02 USB: EHCI: Support controllers with big endian capability regs
The two first HC capability registers (CAPLENGTH and HCIVERSION)
are defined as one 8-bit and one 16-bit register. Most HC
implementations have selected to treat these registers as part
of a 32-bit register, giving the same layout for both big and
small endian systems.

This patch adds a new quirk, big_endian_capbase, to support
controllers with big endian register interfaces that treat
HCIVERSION and CAPLENGTH as individual registers.

2f7ac6c199 USB: ehci: add workaround for Synopsys HC bug
A Synopsys USB core used in various SoCs has a bug which might cause
that the host controller not issuing ping.

When software uses the Doorbell mechanism to remove queue heads, the
host controller still has references to the removed queue head even
after indicating an Interrupt on Async Advance. This happens if the last
executed queue head's Next Link queue head is removed.

Consequences of the defect:
The Host controller fetches the removed queue head, using memory that
would otherwise be deallocated.This results in incorrect transactions on
both the USB and system memory. This may result in undefined behavior.

Workarounds:

1) If no queue head is active (no Status field's Active bit is set)
after removing the queue heads, the software can write one of the valid
queue head addresses to the ASYNCLISTADDR register and deallocate the
removed queue head's memory after 2 microframes.

If one or more of the queue heads is active (the Active bit is set in
the Status field) after removing the queue heads, the software can delay
memory deallocation after time X, where X is the time required for the
Host Controller to go through all the queue heads once. X varies with
the number of queue heads and the time required to process periodic
transactions: if more periodic transactions must be performed, the Host
Controller has less time to process asynchronous transaction processing.

2) Do not use the Doorbell mechanism to remove the queue heads. Disable
the Asynchronous Schedule Enable bit instead.

The bug has been discussed on the linux-usb-devel mailing-list
four years ago, the original thread can be found here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg45345.html

This patch implements the first workaround as suggested by David Brownell.

The built-in USB host controller of the Atheros AR7130/AR7141/AR7161 SoCs
requires this to work properly.

502fa84195 USB: ehci: add bus glue for the Atheros AR71XX/AR724X/AR91XX SoCs
The Atheros AR71XX/AR91XX SoCs have a built-in EHCI controller.
This patch adds the necessary glue code to make the generic EHCI
driver usable for them.
