Please look in the drivers/phy/phy-core.c file. Usage count is handled
there - see phy_power_on and phy_power_off functions. I understand that
after both EHCI and OHCI power on the phy, the usage count is 2. So
powering off one of them (EHCI for instance) the usage count is still
1, so the OHCI should still work properly.
