No, the core driver still acts on these ports (to some extent) even if
there is no PHY specified (e.g. updates DWC3_GUSB2PHYCFG on suspend).
And IIRC I even had to specify more than just the fingerprint reader PHY
on the X13s to get it to enumerate. I never had time to fully determine
why this was the case though.

No, the interrupts are still there, wired up in the SoC, so we should
not change that.
With runtime PM eventually enabled and working as it should, the OS
should be able to power down any unused ports. And we could also
consider marking some ports as not physically accessible and not
connected as a further hint to the OS that they can be disabled even
sooner.
