Since when does the compiler complain about functions with no
prototype?

In any case, I think it would make more sense to move the prototype
declaration into drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.h, and have
drivers/usb/core/hcd-pci.c include that file. After all, it's
perfectly reasonable for hcd-pci to want to know about the quirks of
various PCI-based controllers, but it's not reasonable for pci-quirks.c
to need to know about the details of HCDs.
