The current OC (Over Current) handling does not consider the default and bootloader OC setting well, in this commit, we reset OC setting according to dts value: - If property "disable-over-current" is set, we will disable OC at code; otherwise, we will enable OC. - Since most of USB power control chips are low active for OC, we keep "over-current-active-high" property unchanging to reduce users effort. If this property is set, we set OC polarity as high explicitly; otherwise, we set it as low explicitly.

I think we shouldn't change the i.MX25 behaviour in a patch that is backported to stable. Even without this I'd put the change to i.MX25 in a separate patch. (As I did in my series.)
Also the change is bad, because you're going from hard-coded active high to active low for all users that don't specify "over-current-active-high". This breaks (I think) most i.MX25 machines.
Affected in mainline are:
imx25-pdk.dts (&usbotg + &usbhost1) imx25-eukrea-mbimxsd25-baseboard.dts (&usbotg + &usbhost1)
and out of tree probably more. (But maybe these use really active low signalling? I don't know and didn't check.)
Also for i.MX6/7 the overhead isn't that bad to keep compatibility and give the possibility to explicitly specify the polarity. So I still prefer my patch set over your approach (which conceptually matches the patch created by Matthew).
Best regards Uwe

Are you sure the boards you listed works well for OC now? Both you and Matthew posted patch for OC issue, I think you both probably find the OC function works not well. I have checked the boards (from imx35) at Freescale/NXP internal, all boards are active low for OC.
My intention is to let most of boards work well without adding dts property since most of USB power control chip is active low for OC, the OC function should not test well before.
Your patches do not break current setting, but need the users to add dts property to let OC function work (Since most of chip are active low for OC), almost all i.mx boards will see the warning message for without setting OC polarity, and must add dts property to fix this warning message.
I am OK to accept your patch if both Matthew and Jun are ok with it.

You seem to consider having to explicitly define the polarity a downside. I'd say it is an advantage have this information in the machine description.
It seems based on many drivers I have seen that a boolean type of device tree property sets a condition and the absence of the property means the opposite condition. This is the method I would normally prefer, but in this case since the original property prevented active low from being set in the kernel, people started to depend on the bootloader setting without the kernel touching it. We now have three cases (active high, active low, and set by bootloader without kernel touching the OC polarity). I agree with Uwe's implementation since it handles the three case situation.
One issue with Uwe's implementation is the lack of handling the error case when both properties (over-current-active-high and over-current-active-low) are both listed in a device tree. In this case there should be an error or warning message and the kernel should not touch the OC polarity bit (leave the bootloader setting).
