I see. If both usb3s_clk and usb_extal are not 0 and "ssc-range" is enabled,
the driver should choose usb_extal and enable the ssc.
So, I understand "if you.." part can be removed. Thanks!

Oops, I will fix it.

I'm thinking this is hardware description :)
This setting needs before usb3.0 controller starts.
So, this cannot be decided at runtime.

I found phy/brcm-sata-phy.txt also had a similar property "brcm,enable-ssc".

I got it. I will remove it.
