I don't think this is a good idea and instead the callbacks should be
dedicated for the xhci and dwc3 drivers. A struct with callbacks can be
passed down to the child devices, which call back into the drivers of
their parents for notifications and when they need services from them
(e.g. during suspend or on role changes).

That may also work as a way to avoid parsing the xhci registers, but I'm
still not sure why simply counting the PHYs in DT would not work.
