Geert,

I talked to a colleague about the USB_EXTAL.  He pointed me to table
60.1 of the RZ/2 Series, 2nd Generate reference manual
(R01UH0808EJ0100 Rev.1.00),  which shows the USB EHCI needing the
50MHz.  When I clear out the references from ehci0 and echi1, the USB
stops working, so it does appear that using the versaclock as the 3rd
clock is needed for operating.  The device tree bindings for the
generic-ehci provide for up to 4 clocks, so it seems like referencing
clocks = <&cpg CPG_MOD 703>, <&cpg CPG_MOD 704>, <&versaclock5 3> are
not a violation of the bindings.

I can add a better description when I do the V2 update for this if you like.

I dug into the USB3_phy and it enables and immediately disables the
clocks for the simple purpose of determining which clock reference to
use between usb3s0_clk or usb_extal_clk.  I was hoping that simply
referencing the versaclock here would be sufficient, but the Beacon
board has a usb3s0_clk at 100MHz, and the driver appears to use it
instead of the versaclock so adding the versaclock reference here
isn't sufficient to make it work for the ehci, nor do I think it's
appropriate.

It seems like the driver shouldn't immediately disable the clocks, but
they're expecting external fixed clocks.  Since we meet that criteria
with the usb3s0_clk, the USB3 works without the versaclock reference.
