This broke booting on atmel sama5 boards (and likely others with the
same conversion)...

ohci_init_driver() doesn't have any sanity checks for NULL overrides, so
it blindly dereferences and faults.

Some of the other conversions have this same problem (at least omap3).
Did anyone test this series on hardware?

I'm not too familiar with OHCI, but something like the patch below is
probably needed along with this series.

Subject: [PATCH] USB: OHCI: ohci_init_driver(): sanity check overrides

Check for non-NULL overrides before dereferencing since platforms may
pass in NULL overrides.
