Ah okay, I misunderstood you here. I thought you meant remove usb_valid 
and dc_valid from the platform data. However determining usb and dc 
validity from the gpios set in the DT does make more sense. I will do that!

The DTSI file used is almost identical to the copy I included in the 
bindings document. Other then some extra pinmux stuff.
