The two commits that would need to be applied against would be:

Fixes: fb8587a2c165 ("arm64: dtsi: imx8mp: add usb nodes")
Fixes: ad37549cb5dc ("arm64: dts: imx8mq: add USB nodes")

The imx8mq one is a bit tricky since that commit occurred in the v5.1
kernel which is before the parkmode support was added to the dwc3
driver (added in v5.7, but was backported to stable kernels all the
way to v5.4). However since there is no active stable 5.1-5.3 kernels
this should be fine?

If those commits are the correct Fixes target let me know and I can
resend this change as v2 with the Fixes and your reviewed-by.

Thanks,
Nathan
