Hmm, ideally we would only have properties on one of the two, since we
refer to the sysdev for the properties regarding DMA and PHY among other
things, but I guess that's not an option here, since we can't call
platform_device_add_properties() on a dwc_pci device and have to
use the xhci pdev instead.
