Hi

Rogers Quadros patchseries that changes how HCDs are created and added for
xhci-plat was just sent forward. It first creates both HCDs, then adds them.

Doesn't usb_add_hcd() as it's first task take care of the PHYs? 
I'm hoping to remove that part completely from xhci-plat.c but haven't
looked into it properly yet.
