Currently It seems there are 2 ways to excute own function.
1. xhci_plat_priv
-> This is hard to use it if the driver invokes xhci platform driver from
dwc3_host_init(usb/dwc/host.c). I can't pass driver data during probe.
2. xhci_driver_overrides
-> This is only useful if I has own xhci driver.

That's why I wanted to extend overriding concept of xhci platform driver.
If some code is better to be directly in xhci platform driver than xhci-exynos,
I will modify it.
