Please get rid of these. We shouldn't need forward declarations.

How is this supposed to work? I see that this was added in an earlier
revision of this patch series but there isn't any mention of why
device_is_bound() is used here. It would be great if there was a comment
detailing why this is necessary. It sounds like maximum_speed is
important?

Furthermore, dwc3_qcom_interconnect_init() is called by
dwc3_qcom_probe() which is the function that registers the device for
qcom->dwc3->dev. If that device doesn't probe between the time it is
registered by dwc3_qcom_probe() and this function is called then we'll
fail dwc3_qcom_probe() with -EPROBE_DEFER. And that will remove the
qcom->dwc3->dev device from the platform bus because we call
of_platform_depopulate() on the error path of dwc3_qcom_probe().

So isn't this whole thing racy and can potentially lead us to a driver
probe loop where the wrapper (dwc3_qcom) and the core (dwc3) are probing
and we're trying to time it just right so that driver for dwc3 binds
before we setup interconnects? I don't know if dwc3 can communicate to
the wrapper but that would be more of a direct way to do this. Or maybe
the wrapper should try to read the DT property for maximum speed and
fallback to a worst case high bandwidth value if it can't figure it out
itself without help from dwc3 core.
