well, if you're adding a new driver, I'd rather see folks moving over to
the generic phy framework (drivers/phy) because we're trying really hard
to get rid of drivers/usb/phy/. And I think, in your case, it's actually
ok to use pinctrl because you actually are muxing pads to the USB3 PHY,
you just do it lazyly.

my 2 cents
