They are, in the cover letter.

Sure

It's not (I think). There's a few reasons I've decided to make this separate
from the usb3-drd-phy bindings and exynos5-usbdrd driver:

1. This PHY does not provide UTMI and PIPE3 on its own. There's no tuning
for them, and all that is needed from it is to disable HWACG, assert/
deassert reset and force bvalid/vbusvalid. After that SNPS eUSB2
initialization can be done and USB2 works. If the USBCON phy is not set
up before the eUSB2 one, the device hangs, so there is definitely a
dependancy between them. For PIPE3 we'd need to control the pipe3
attaching/deattaching and then initialize the synopsys USBDP combophy.

2. With the way it's modelled, we need to parse phandles from eUSB2 and
USBDP to the controller. Adding that to the usbdrd driver would be...
weird. It makes more sense to model it as a separate driver, because
it functions in a different way.

I've described this in the cover letter as well.

Best regards,
Ivaylo
