The problem is that... its support is pretty strange. I can see
pinctrl, ethernet and quirks for the platform in GIC-ITS and PL011
drivers. Is this enough to get the platform into the useful state? I
can imagine that "QCOM2430" ACPI handle was used for USB hosts on that
platform, but I don't remember when we last tested DWC3 with the ACPI.

So, all this boils down to the question whether mainline (or something
close by, LTS for example) is actually used and tested on these
devices?
