That is a good news.

Not sure.
"xlnx,zynqmp-dwc3" is a member of dwc3-of-simple.c
which just enables/disables clocks.

That information is not important.

I guess your commit
ff0a632f08759e31f45b06fee27bc71c826c6b11
is wrong.


About the clocks, Rob Herring pointed out:

  However, this should be specific as to how many clocks and their
  function. This should be readily available to someone with access to
  Synopsys datasheet. The number of clocks should generally be the same
  across SoCs, it is just some SoCs either tie clocks together or don't
  provide s/w control of some of the clocks.



The same applies to the reset control.
The reset policy should be the same across SoCs
since we are using the same IP (i.e. the same delivered RTL).


You are using a pulse reset for DWC3
just because the reset controller in your SoC
is implemented like that.

This is NOT because your DWC3 in your SoC is
specially customized, right?

You put a reset-provider matter to a reset-consumer.

In my _hope_.

But, I cannot do this by myself
since I do not have such boards.

Depends on how people make efforts to covert existing platforms.

We need to take a close look per driver.

Looking at the dwc3-keystone.c,
it works like an interrupt controller with irq-domain hierarchy.
If it is moved to the irqchip subsystem,
dwc3-keystone.c could be removed.
