Sorry, could not reply earlier. The proposal sounds good to me.

The xhci-plat is a thin wrapper, so having a separate wrapper for SNPS
controller is definitely not an overkill and gives lot of flexibility
in abstracting dwc3 specifics. Also dwc3/host.c becomes just a platform
device creation wrapper and xHC specifics are completely taken out.

Thanks,
Pavan
