Nothing uses the "ops" except xhci_exynos_register_vendor_ops() which is
not called anywhere, so the xhci_vendor_init() does not call
xhci_exynos_vendor_init().

It "could be" or "will be"? We do not talk here about theoretical usage
of the driver, but a real one.

Since you called everything here as "exynos" it is specific to one
hardware and not-reusable on anything else. How can then you use some
other compatible? It would be a misuse of Devicetree bindings.

Unless this is not specific to "exynos", but then please remove any
exynos and vendor references and make it integrated in generic XHCI
working for all drivers.

Not possible to probe. The code cannot be loaded.
