Then it needs its own driver. This is intended as a binding for a
*generic* driver, which is meant to cover simple straight forward
non-pci ohci cases. For more complex cases a separate driver will
need to be written.

I must say I'm becoming a bit unhappy with how the reviews of devicetree
bindings are being done. In one case it is not generic enough (ahci-sunxi).

If I then try to make it more generic in a case where that can actually
be done as the hardware is pretty straight forward, it is not specific enough.
You can simply not have both!

This is another example of non generic behavior, requiring a separate
(small using the existing ohci core) platform glue driver, like the *19* we
already have.
