I'm slightly confused here. From a quick look at the driver, it expects
two separate phys to be present -- one handling only USB2, and one
handling USB3 (with USB2 backwards compatibility).

So it's not physically possible for someone to just wire up a single phy
to the device, either USB2-only or USB3?

You can describe the USB2-only case in the dt by only listing the first
phy (though the driver won't support it as it expects both to be
present), but it's impossible to describe that you've wired up a single
phy that's USB3 capable.

Thanks,
Mark.
