Hi, thanks

Actually I does not found where notifiers are used in these files except
langwell_otg

For langwell_otg.c there's a wrapper struct named "intel mid_otg_xceiv"
in include/linux/usb/intel_mid_otg.h, it use an atomic notifier for
interrupt context.

So I think we'd better write another patch to make it use general
otg_transceiver for notifier or just keep current code. What's your opinion?
