Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

The word "virtual" in bindings pretty often raises questions, because we
describe usually real hardware, not virtual. Some explanation in
description would be useful.

If this is EHCI controller, then I would expect here reference to usb-hcd.

Why do you need this property in DT and what exactly does it represent?
You have one device - EHCI controller - and on some boards it is further
customized? Even though it is the same device?

Same concerns.

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:
