ohci code checks for pxa3xx cpu and only then runs start/stop hc.
pxa3xx_ulpi.c is compiled if CONFIG_PXA3xx is selected.
The device <-> driver binding should not be a problem, so the
pxa3xx_u2d_probe() will run.
The only case, I see, when struct u2d does not exist is failure of the
probe function. If this is the case, we are having an abnormal execution
and if your patch is dealing with this issue, shouldn't you comment it as such?
