I did advise against doing the lookup by compatible string because I
think it has a couple of downsides. On one hand it's going to create an
additional maintenance burden on the XUSB pad controller driver because
the PMC is usually not compatible between SoC versions, so for every new
SoC generation we'll have to add the PMC compatible string to the XUSB
pad controller driver.

On the other hand, this is new functionality and we can easily gate that
on the existence of this phandle, so it doesn't impact DT backwards
compatibility. That also has the advantage of explicitly listing the
dependency between the PMC and the XUSB pad controller in DT, so if we
ever do get around to come up with an even better mechanism to resolve
these dependencies than deferred probe, we do have the data already
available.
