Pardon me for being confused. Is this about imx and mvebu (as mentioned here) or about orion and mxc (as described in the patch title, the error messages below, and the patch itself)? > > Without this patch, building allyesconfig results in: > > > > drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1285:0: error: "PLATFORM_DRIVER" redefined > > drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1255:0: note: this is the location of the > > previous definition > > In file included from drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1254:0: > > drivers/usb/host/ehci-mxc.c:280:31: warning: 'ehci_mxc_driver' defined but > > not used Was the point here to fix the build error or to allow the two drivers to coexist?

Arnd, please take a look at http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=135843716515529&w=2 I can't test it easily, not being set up for cross compilation. I'm waiting to hear from anybody whether it works before submitting it. (There's also a report of memory corruption involving a similar patch for ehci-omap; it hasn't been tracked down yet.)
