Please mention why it does not.
Agreed. The "snps,dwc2" should be a fallback string, otherwise
there is no way to uniquely identify the JZ4780 implementation of
the IP.
Well, there is no specifc implementation and driver for it. So no
need to uniquely identify it.
Specific implementation and driver are not arguments here. This
does not
matter. It's really unrelated argument.
The argumentation is in reverse: if there is no need for a
specialized driver or implementation,
why is there is a need to define a specialization.
Your argument was:
"there is no way to uniquely identify the JZ4780 implementation of
the IP"
My question is:
"what do we need that for?"
You may not need the differenciation now, but if you need it in the
future and you had only the "snps,dwc2" compatible previously, then
you're screwed, since your driver must support older device tree blobs.

Bindings are not about implementation in Linux. Implementation can
change, so bindings should also?
No. Implementations should be agnostic.
