Ok, but just knowing that it is "preferred" does not in itself mean that
it should be removed from the binding.

We need to know that it's effectively useless (i.e. that the interrupts
are defined but cannot be triggered) for that.

We can still use the DP/DM interrupts in favour of HS in the driver
however.

I fixed the binding for those specific platforms last year:

	dd566faebe9f ("dt-bindings: usb: qcom,dwc3: refine interrupt requirements")

But as I mentioned in that commit message the following platforms do not
have any wakeup interrupts specified in mainline currently:

      - qcom,ipq4019-dwc3
      - qcom,ipq6018-dwc3
      - qcom,ipq8064-dwc3
      - qcom,ipq8074-dwc3
      - qcom,msm8994-dwc3
      - qcom,qcs404-dwc3

It would be good to get that cleaned up too (i.e. add the missing
interrupt definitions and update the binding to match).

No, as I wrote above that depends on if the HS interrupt is truly
useless. Otherwise it still belongs in the binding, even if the driver
uses DP/DM in place of it.

Again, the binding should describe the hardware, not what a particular
OS chooses to use.
