Re: [PATCH 1/3] doc: dt: bindings: usb: dwc3: Update entries for disabling SS instances in park mode

[Jun Li]

by a quirk, those platforms without this quirk can't benefit this fix.

if later this bug is fixed by some reversion of dwc3 IP, we can easily
remove the workaround by a IP version check:
if (dwc->revision < DWC3_REVISION_PARK_MODE_FIXED)
{
          disable park mode for ss;
}
