Please drop it.

I wonder where were all those people when "xhci-platform" compatible got
adopted in drivers/usb/host/xhci-plat.c? :-P
Anyway, I want to suggest "usb-[eo]hci" of which "usb-ehci" binding has
even already documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/usb-ehci.txt.
Both these "compatible" values are used as backups in the multiple described
bindings of the platform-specific [EO]HCI controllers. I really don't see why
you should invent anything new (and so poorly named).
