Ok to make it as clear as possible. (hope I don't contraddict with the
previous statement) (actually yes the "separate register space statement
was wrong and sorry for the confusion")

- 2 USB port
- USB 2.0 needs to be calibrated with an oscillator
- Each USB port have his own dedicated oscillator somewhere in the HW
- Each USB port have at the same offset a register to SELECT the
  oscillator. This register refer to the same oscillator selection in
  the HW.
  
  Example:
  reg 0x1fac0100 MASK 27:26 can be set to source out of oscillator 0,1,2
  reg 0x1fae0100 MASK 27:26 can be set to source out of oscillator 0,1,2

  Both register refer to the same oscillators in hardware (hence each
  port should select the correct one)
  Selecting oscillator 0 for both USB port is problematic.

With this in mind is it ok if I describe this with something like

airoha,usb2-monitor-clk-sel = <AIROHA_USB2_MONCLK_SEL0>;

and some dt-bindings include

#define AIROHA_USB2_MONCLK_SEL0 0
#define AIROHA_USB2_MONCLK_SEL1 1
#define AIROHA_USB2_MONCLK_SEL2 2
#define AIROHA_USB2_MONCLK_SEL3 3

Or an enum of string like "osc0", "osc1", "osc2"...?
