This fixes a possible kernel oops due to using stack allocated platform data for the USB PHY driver on DA8XX devices. If the platform device probe is deferred, then we get a corrupt pointer for the platform data.
We now use a global static struct for the platform data so that the platform data pointer does not get written over.
