So this means that no other platform xhci driver can be supported in the
same system at the same time.

Which kind of makes sense as that's not anything a normal system would
have, BUT it feels very odd.  This whole idea of "override the platform
driver" feels fragile, why not make these just real platform drivers and
have the xhci platform code be a library that the other ones can use?
That way you have more control overall, right?

thanks,
