what do you mean by glitch?

this seems specific to your platform. Please clarify a little more? Do
you have a discrete charge pump tied to some output signal from dwc3?

why is that pin pulled low? XHCI reset shouldn't be a global reset. Did
your HW engineer tie all reset lines together? If so, there's nothing I
can do to help.

okay

why are you blaming the driver here? We don't know of any such platform
that has problems with this. Do you mean to say that because your HW
engineer made a choice of tying host reset to global reset, you end up
having an issue? That's something else entirely that SW can't help you
with.

I have no idea about anything nxp has done, no access to documentation,
nothing at all. I need you to do a better job at explaining the
situation starting with kernel version you're using, if platform is
supported upstream, etc.

dwc3 will _not_ touch xHCI registers, sorry. If you need something like
that, you need to do it as a quirk in xhci-plat.c

please answer my other questions first, after we fully understand the
scenario and the problem, then we can discuss implementation details.

cheers
