Yeah, I agree that the higher chance is that this would be SoC specific,
but I can't discard being board-specific either, as, on this board,
all the output ports are all connected via an USB GPIO hub provided
on a different chipset. Funny enough, setting this is only required
for HID. The USB ports work fine either with split mode enabled or
disabled for USB sticks. So, I guess this affects only INT (and maybe
ISOC) URB transfers. So I wouldn't doubt that such quirk would be
required due to some limitation at the USB GPIO hub.

I tried to do that, but the ARM CPU panics:

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/731e13f9fbba3a81bedb39f1c1deaf41200acd0c.1599559004.git.mchehab+huawei@xxxxxxxxxx/

>From my tests, it sounds that this is due to some (minor) differences on 
how the power clocks are enabled/suspended when using dwc3-of-simple as
the parent node. 

It sounds that, if the PM clocks are not stable yet by the time
dwc3 tries to initialize, the CPU crashes.

Not sure if a match table would work here, because we need to
enforce that the parent node will be called before dwc3, as
otherwise the panic() will occur.

Ok, thanks!
