ehci-platform: Change compatible string from usb-ehci to generic-ehci

The initial versions of the devicetree enablement patches for ehci-platform
used "ehci-platform" as compatible string. However this was disliked by various
reviewers because the platform bus is a Linux invention and devicetree is
supposed to be OS agnostic. After much discussion I gave up, added a:
"depends on !PPC_OF" to Kconfig to avoid a known conflict with PPC-OF platforms
and went with the generic usb-ehci as requested.

In retro-spect I should have chosen something different, the dts files for many
existing boards already claim to be compatible with "usb-ehci", ie they have:

	compatible = "ti,ehci-omap", "usb-ehci";

In theory this should not be a problem since the "ti,ehci-omap" entry takes
presedence, but in practice using a conflicting compatible string is an issue,
because it makes which driver gets used depend on driver registration order.

This patch changes the compatible string claimed by ehci-platform to
"generic-ehci", avoiding the driver registration / module loading ordering
problems, and removes the "depends on !PPC_OF" workaround.

USB EHCI controllers
Required properties:
- compatible : should be "usb-ehci".
- compatible : should be "generic-ehci".
- reg : should contain at least address and length of the standard EHCI
register set for the device. Optional platform-dependent registers
(debug-port or other) can be also specified here, but only after
