With the ehci patch I'll go for your suggestion to simply keep
via,vt8500-ehci as compat string for it, without adding a new generic
name. So for ohci I'll also go with the first platform to use it and
thus "allwinner,sun4i-ohci"

As Alan pointed out by asking "what is ahb" these
names are too platform specific (arm platform in this case),
for a generic driver. So I'm going to call them clk1, clk2 and
instead. It may seem a bit silly to use names at all in this
case, but having names makes things a lot easier
implementation wise.
