otg_read may return errnos, so bail out correctly to prevent bogus
ID-numbers.

The old code registered the hcd even if there were no transceivers
detected, leading to oopses like this if we try to probe a non-existant

Hmm. I'm aware that there was a missing bail in this function, but
actually, I had hardware which didn't properly detect the ULPI chip but
still worked fine. There has been quite some discussion here about that,
and eventually I decided to not make this a hard error as it didn't
really harm.

But that, of course, changes everthing. If you happen to see such
Ooopses, your patch should go in, and I will check the boards again and
see if they still fail to probe the ULPI. Eventually, we might need some
kind of quirks field in the platform data :(

Thanks,
Daniel

My use case is that we have two very similar boards, one uses just the second
host controller, the other one uses also OTG. Of course, we'd like to have just
one kernel, so we wanted to check if probing for OTG fails gracefully enough,
if the ULPI is not present. It did not, so this is what my patch intends to
fix. I think, checking why your boards fail to do the init, is the cleaner way
to go in the long run.

Regards,

   Wolfram

There's a design flaw in Freescale's MX31 reference designs which lets
the nCS pin float. And many board designers blindly copied that flaw
over to their own designs.

See

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=125985151110906&w=4

So we might need quirks handling here.

Have you tried my imx31 EHCI controller init patch applied ? 
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/014729.html

Btw, it has still not be applied, anybody knows why ?
