For this option, looks like DTC doesn't allow form of <"data_wr" 0x8>, <"desc_rd" 0x2>... 
It will report error when compiling:

DTC     arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a-rdb.dtb
Error: arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a.dtsi:383.23-24 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
scripts/Makefile.lib:294: recipe for target 'arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a-qds.dtb' failed
make[2]: *** [arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a-qds.dtb] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Error: arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a.dtsi:383.23-24 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

One of the solution I can figure out is to use macro to replace "data_wr", like below:
<DATA_WR 0x8>, <DESC_RD 0x2>...

However, it will require creating file in include/dt-bindings/usb/dwc3.h to
place macro definitions.

Or may I use:  "data_wr", <0x8>,  "desc_rd",  <0x2>... ?

Thanks & Regards,
Ran
