Correct.

The support is in mx31lilly-db.c which is the _board_ specific code.
People might decide to not have USB on their custom boards, and so this
functions are not enabled from the module code (mx31lilly.c).

Mixing those versions is not recommended. Try using a kernel based on
mxc-master, apply the pending USB patches manually and modify the EHCI
driver so it works for MX27. A patch that diffs between your version and
the latest USB patches would be appreciated.

If that works, a second patch to add USB to MX27ADS would be the next
step.
