My problem is not that it's scattered around platform_data and phy_data,
but that it's not possible to add proper i.MX51 support without
introducing a initialize_otg_port which wont' be flexible enough for
future boards.

No, I think we can't do this without breaking at least some boards. I
found out that on some boards we have to configure the iomux pins and
the rest of the USB hardware in a short time frame, otherwise we get
ULPI errors.
