Then you need to add that.

You can't add a new interface which is broken by design and can't be
used unless you abuse the devicetree and describe your PHYs using *both*
the generic 'phy' property and the *deprecated* 'usb-phy' property.

That's just broken.

These should be fixed as well eventually.
