I was able to investigate this further. The Raspberry Pi has a PHY
defined in device tree ( compatible = "usb-nop-xceiv", bcm283x.dtsi )
and in arm/multi_v7_defconfig the relevant driver is compiled as a module.

The dwc2 platform code attempt to find the optional PHY. With
fw_devlink=permissive the dwc2 driver seems to fail getting the PHY and
proceed. But with fw_devlink=on the dwc2 driver seems to go the
EPROBE_DEFER path and wait endlessly for the PHY driver which isn't
built into the kernel. This PHY handling was a troublemaker in the past [1]

So there are two workarounds to avoid this issue with fw_devlink=on:

a) make CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y for multi_v7_defconfig
b) remove the usb-nop-xceiv PHY from the device tree

But it would be nice to have a clean solution.

Best regards
Stefan
