drivers/usb/host/ohci-da8xx.c has two clocks, and needs to know the
configuration of the USB block to know whether to manage the USB2.0
clock:

        cfgchip2 = __raw_readl(CFGCHIP2);
        if (on) {
                clk_enable(usb11_clk);

                /*
                 * If USB 1.1 reference clock is sourced from USB 2.0 PHY, we
                 * need to enable the USB 2.0 module clocking, start its PHY,
                 * and not allow it to stop the clock during USB 2.0 suspend.
                 */
                if (!(cfgchip2 & CFGCHIP2_USB1PHYCLKMUX)) {
                        clk_enable(usb20_clk);
