Do you mean we should have an extra level of stacking and splitting "static struct platform_driver dwc3_driver" in two so instead of "qcom,dwc3" -> "snps,dwc3" (usb_bus.sysdev) -> "xhci" (usb_bus.dev) we do this? "qcom,dwc3" -> "snps,dwc3" (usb_bus.sysdev) -> "dwc3-glue" -> "xhci" (usb_bus.dev) That sounds a bit clumsy for the sake of consistency with PCI. The advantage is that xhci can always use the grandparent device as sysdev whenever it isn't probed through PCI or firmware itself, but the purpose of the dwc3-glue is otherwise questionable. How about adding a 'compatible="snps,dwc3-pci"' property for the dwc3 device when that is created from the PCI driver and checking for that with the device property interface instead? If it's "snps,dwc3" we use the device itself while for "snps,dwc3-pci", we use the parent? Arnd
