Exactly ... and in case "struct pxa3xx_u2d_ulpi *u2d" is NULL, clk_enable will
crash the kernel.

Not at all ... if the pxa3xx-u2d driver isn't loaded at all, the function
(start/stop hc) is still called, but struct pxa3xx_u2d_ulpi *u2d is NULL. In
this case, if you call clk_enable(u2d->clk), you crash the kernel (because u2d
is NULL).
Good night, I'll be back in 8 hrs or so :)
