I've gone through that. There's no easy way to make USB3 PHY optional.

For platforms which actually have the USB3 side of things, not
initializing the PHY kills dwc3.

I've been trying to understand what it is that the USB3 PHY generates
and gets backfed into dwc3, but so far no luck.

I even have a patch for that, which I have dropped when I found out
about this problem.
