This patch adds an ohci->priv field for private use by OHCI
platform drivers.

Until now none of the platform drivers has used this private space,
but that's about to change in the next patch of this series.

As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't need to be in a patch of its own.  
It can be merged into the 1/3 patch of the previous series.  After all,
that patch adds the extra_priv_size field in ohci_driver_overrides,
which doesn't make much sense unless there's a way to refer to the
private part of the ohci_hcd structure.

 Already 1/3 patch is merged into main line kernel.

Two days back only I started making ohci-spera a separate driver ,that time
I felt extra_priv_size field is required in ohci_driver_overrides that what
I created separate patch.

extra_priv_size patch is related to Spear patch,If you are agree,I can add
this patch with Spear patch,making Spear patch series.

If any other suggestion let me know.

Yeah, too late now.

No, we may as well keep it separate like this.
