I need USB support for an PPC405CR platform ! As far as I know. only PCI USB chipsets (OHCI/UHCI) are supported by linux. It is also a little problem to get usb host controller other than PCI chips (I am not sure if you need a masteror slave chip). But a solution seams to be at the horizont. The USB host/slave chips from scanlogic (SL11H/S and SL811). I read that softconnex will write some linux drivers for those chips. But I am sure, not under the GPL. So it would be nice if someone would do that under the GPL.
