This is not really a backport candidate:
- This is not a fix, but a new feature.
- This relies on the H616 USB PHY support patch, which will be only
in
  v6.2 (and won't be backported).

I'll go ahead and drop it.

- DT backports are generally not useful to begin with, and should
  actually not be necessary anyway.

DT changes include fixes and new features. New features are not useful,
but fixes are useful.

This specific change is a new feature one, not a fix one though.

Right - this is a similar issue to PCI/USB/etc IDs, or quirks - we try
and backport patches that enable new hardware to work (proerly) with
drivers that already exist in the kernel.
