Yep, this looks like property specific to given XHCI controller, thus
can be implied from compatible and there is no need for new DT property
at all.

Also, there is no single DTS user of this property. It looks like you
add it for some out-of-tree vendor or non-upstreamable code, which
personally I would not care about. Feel free to prove me wrong by adding
it to respective DTS in other patchset linked here.
