It sounds hackish to me. You could clearly change the logic on
init/power_on callbacks to avoid this problem.

Ditto.

That's not BYT-CR specific problems. That's just dwc3 and tusb1210
interacting as they're expecting to.

It seems you're expecting the PHY to be fully operational in order to
probe it. That's wrong assumption. BYT-CR's BIOS is doing nothing wrong
by leaving PHY on reset state. The real problem is what I stated above.
With your current logic, you'll get stuck with checking/egg problem: you
need phy probed to probe dwc3, but need dwc3 probed to power on phy.
You need a logic to break this circular dependency.

How about just leave the logic the way it is:
dwc3-pci.c registers platform_device with gpio as resource if the GPIOs
are provided to dwc3. If not, then dwc3-pci.c will expect phy to have
its own ACPI id.
