The driver is used by drivers in the following directories:

drivers/usb/host/    (ohci-nxp.c)
drivers/usb/otg/     (isp1301_omap.c)
drivers/usb/gadget/  (lpc32xx_udc.c)

So host/ and otg/ don't look much better.

Maybe one of (new):

    drivers/usb/transceiver/
    drivers/usb/phy/
    drivers/usb/lowlevel/

?

Otherwise, I will put it in drivers/usb/otg/ even of it doesn't look
better to me but the chip is advertised as "OTG transceiver". ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Roland
