(sorry, resent in plain test)

yes, we don't have more than 1 controller in the current setup,

I'll use maxItems: 1

I didn't get your suggestion earlier to use "syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible()".

We have several other syscon in the other. That's why we choose a direct syscfg phandle

SSC is off by default and available for the PCIe pad clock. it must be defined for USB3
