You mean that there are implementations of dwc3 without an associated
glue driver that haven't yet realized that they need this feature?

I would suggest then that we implement the core code necessary, we
enable it from the Qualcomm glue layer and when someone realize that
they need this without a glue driver it's going to be trivial to add the
DT binding.


The alternative is that we're lugging around a requirement to specify
this property in all past, present and future Qualcomm dts files - and
then we'll need to hard code it for ACPI anyways.
