[U-Boot] Porting ehci-exynos.c to handle exynos4412 (odroid-u2)

Yes, the u-boot is based off of 2010.12:
The source with the odroid-u2 (Exynos4412) mods are in
https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot

You are right, the problem is in enabling USB. I do not seem ot find
documentation as to the IO addresses and what values to poke/peek in them
to initialize and power on the USB PHY.

There is however a linux source tree which has support for this device,
which works the USB quite well. I am trying to steal and grab the
initialization steps from the linux kernel and pull it into u-boot.

The files that I seem to need to modify are mainly in
drivers/host/usb/ehci-exynos.c with some usb phy power code in
system.c/power.c in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/exynos/ in u-boot. The linux src
tree that I am trying to decipher is in arch/arm/mach-exynos/setup-usb-phy.c

Thanks
