[PATCH 2/2] ehci-platform: Change compatible string from usb-ehci to ehci-platform

The initial versions of the devicetree enablement patches for ehci-platform
used "ehci-platform" as compatible string. However this was disliked by various
reviewers because the platform bus is a Linux invention and devicetree is
supposed to be OS agnostic. After much discussion I gave up, added a:
"depends on !PPC_OF" to Kconfig to avoid a known conflict with PPC-OF platforms
and went with the generic usb-ehci as requested.
In retro-spect I should have stuck to my guns, because the dts files for many
existing boards already claim to be compatible with "usb-ehci", ie they have:
compatible = "ti,ehci-omap", "usb-ehci";
In theory this should not be a problem since the "ti,ehci-omap" entry takes
presedence, but in practice using a conflicting compatible string is an issue,
because it makes which driver gets used depent on driver registration order.
This patch changes the compatible string claimed by ehci-platform (back) to
"ehci-platform", avoiding the driver registration / module loading ordering
problems, and removes the "depends on !PPC_OF" workaround.
Note that there already is a precedent for using ?hci-platform, in the form
of xhci-platform.c using "xhci-platfrom" as compatible string.
