That could be an option.

It might require a new API since there are plenty of users of
of_platform_populate() that rely on the current behavior.

If I understand correctly the outcome would be a probe() in two stages. The
first does as much as it can do without the dwc3 core and leaves the device
in a state where it isn't really functional, and the second stage does the
rest when BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER is received for the dwc3 core device.

A concern could be the need for additional conditions in some code paths to
deal with the half-initialized device.

Why would of_platform_populate() be moved outside of probe()?

To avoid the half-initialized device probe() could block until
BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER is received. Probably that should be done with a
timeout to avoid blocking forever in case of a problem with probing the
dwc3 core.
