I don't understand. 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?
