Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] dt/bindings: Add a new property to DA8xx USB PHY

The USB PHY is able to operate in OTG, host or peripheral.
Some board may be wired to work act only as host or peripheral.
In such case, the dr_mode property of controller must be set to
host or peripheral. But doing that will also configure the PHY
in host or peripheral mode whereas OTG is able to detect which
role the USB controller should take.
The PHY's host or peripheral mode are actually only useful when
hardware doesn't allow OTG to detect it's role.

Add the usb20_force_mode property to force the PHY to operate
in host or peripheral mode.
When usb20_force_mode is used, dr_mode should also be configured
to host or peripheral.
The controller uses dr_mode to configure itself, but the phy use
it to get the mode to use to configure the PHY mode.

 This device controls the PHY for both the USB 1.1 OHCI and USB 2.0 OTG
 controllers on DA8xx SoCs. Consumers of this device should use index 0 for
 the USB 2.0 phy device and index 1 for the USB 1.1 phy device.
