All this should be part of comments in code along with information about
controller versions which suffer from the errata.

Is there a version of controller available which does not have the
defect? Is there a future plan to fix this?

If any of that is yes, you probably want to handle this with runtime
detection of version (like done with DWC3_REVISION_XXX macros).
Sometimes the hardware-read versions themselves are incorrect, so its
better to introduce a version specific compatible too like
"cdns,usb-1.0.0" (as hinted to by Rob Herring as well).
