The EOI register IS in the USB subsystem of AM33xx, but the SoC does
not use it because it uses level triggering for USB interrupt.

This patch cleaned up the use of EOI. Do you mean EOI handling will be
added back with condition EOI offset != 0, when the support of new
device which uses EIO is added?
