Implementing it will take a fair amount of work, because all of the
existing UDC and HC drivers will have to be changed. Probably a bunch
of OTG drivers too, but I'm not familiar with them.
The concept is simple, though. A little new code to allocate and
deallocate these usb_pointer structures can be added to
common/common.c. (I'd _really_ like to find a better name!)
Or maybe we could use a simpler approach: Always allocate a usb_otg
structure (even if the hardware doesn't support OTG) and make the
platform driver's drvdata point to it. Since struct usb_otg already
contains pointers to a usb_bus (should that really be usb_hcd?) and a
usb_gadget, we'd be all set.
