considering that DTS is an ABI, I really think eventually we *will* have
broken DTBs burned into ROM and we will have to find ways to work with
those too. Same thing already happens today with ACPI tables.

The alternative would be to mandate nop xceiv for the "missing" PHY, but
that doesn't solve anything, really, as DTS authors might still forget
about the NOP xceiv and you can argue that forcing NOP xceiv would be a
SW configuration.

So, perhaps we go with the approach that all PHYs are optional, and
here's my original patch which makes USB3 PHY optional:

    usb: dwc3: core: make USB3 PHY optional
    
    If we want a port to work at any speed lower
    than Superspeed, it makes no sense to even
    initialize/power up the USB3 transceiver,
    provided it won't be used.
    
    We can use the oportunity to save some power
    and leave the superspeed transceiver powered
    off.
    
    There is at least one such case which is
    Texas Instruments' AM437x which has one
    of its USB3 ports without a matching USB3
    PHY (that port is hardwired to work on USB2
    only).

what you guys are saying though, is that every PHY should be optional.

Do we have any device which doesn't provide USB2 PHY, only USB3 ? Dude,
that's so non-standard! USB *must* be backwards compatible so I'd expect
USB2 PHY to always be available.
