    Please add me to Cc for the entire series when resending.

    By convention, the 'depends on' usually comes first here.

    Please drop the 'select' statements for things that are already selected
    by ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM or ARCH_MULTI_V7.

    It looks like this is only used for the pxf_restart() function below.
    In this case, you should get rid of the static mapping entirely and
    use an ioremap() in the gxp_dt_init() function instead, ideally getting
    the address from an appropriate device node rather than hardcoding
    it here.

    If there are other drivers using the static mapping, either explain
    here why this is required, or try to change them to dynamic mappings as well.

    My feeling is still that this should be done in the platform specific EHCI
    driver front-end. I think I commented on this before but don't remember
    getting an explanation why you can't have it there.

    With both of these, you should use writel() instead of __raw_write().
    Using the __raw accessors breaks big-endian kernels (which you
    probably don't need, but shouldn't break for no reason anyway), and
    lacks serialization and atomicity of the access.

    A better place for the restart logic may be a separate driver in
    drivers/power/reset/, at least if this otherwise ends up being the only
    platform specific code you need.
