orion-ehci here ...

... and ehci-orion here. This would explain why only DT case seems to
work. I'm wondering why it has not been changed given that it has been
changed everywhere else, breaking stuff.

Maybe doing a mass renaming from orion-ehci to ehci-orion in
arch/arm/* files would be enough ? [ well, not necessary everywhere, I'm
not sure if changing the clock name in mach-kirkwood/board-dt.c would be
a good idea given the of node didn't change its name ]
