looking at the code: this could mean that dwc3-exynos.c can be removed
mid-term (assuming the PHY and regulator handling can be
moved/removed/changed)

does the datasheet state anything about the clock speeds? from
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/dwc3-xilinx.txt:
"bus_clk" Master/Core clock, have to be >= 125 MHz for SS operation
and >= 60MHz for HS operation

does the datasheet state whether this is a level or a pulsed reset line?
on Amlogic Meson GXL, GXM and AXG SoCs we use a pulsed (and shared)
reset line (see ff0a632f08759e "usb: dwc3: of-simple: add support for
shared and pulsed reset lines") because the reset line is shared
between various components (USB2 PHY, USB3 PHY, dwc3 controller, ...)
your current approach (having a vendor-specific "foo,dwc3" binding
along with the generic "snps,dwc3") would allow having
per-"of_device_id" settings which could indicate whether the reset
lines are level or pulsed reset if these are "implementation specific"

just to confirm:
with this series your goal is to replace the wrapper node which is
needed due to dwc3-of-simple.c ?
would other drivers which currently create a wrapper node (like
dwc3-keystone.c) keep their wrapper node or do you have any plans for
removing it for the other "wrapper" drivers too?
