Nah, that's close enough that it makes no difference here.

I'd still like an explanation for why a platform would need to actually
set these properties though, and why information about coherency cannot
be determined from whether or not the boss the usb controller is on is
communicated to be dma coherent via the existing devicetree properties
for that purpose.
