gentle ping as I may have sent this when most -next and -fixes trees
were closed (right before the v5.0 release)

it's not a change which is visible at runtime (users don't care) so
it's not urgent.
however, it still adds missing documentation which is useful when
writing .dts files with a dwc2 controller.
