But how the new SoC (for new dts) which still uses current USB PHY driver?

Maybe we should not add additional description for this property,
it depends on which PHY driver (Generic PHY vs USB PHY)  this controller
will use, if it uses a new PHY driver, it must use generic PHY framework,  and will
use 'phy' and 'phy-names' corresponding.
