Ok so poking that a little more, I think I can see what happens,
the USB DT node looks like this:

usb0: usb@e0002000 {
	compatible = "xlnx,zynq-usb-2.20a", "chipidea,usb2";
	status = "disabled";
	clocks = <&clkc 28>;
	interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
	interrupts = <0 21 4>;
	reg = <0xe0002000 0x1000>;
	phy_type = "ulpi";
};

&usb0 {
	status = "okay";

	dr_mode = "host";
	usb-phy = <&usb_phy0>;
};

So when that patch copies the DT node to the new platform device
in ci_hdrc_add_device it copies the compatible stuff as well as
the IRQ stuff it was targeting, this presumably causes the kernel
to bind a new copy of the driver to that new device, which probes
and calls ci_hdrc_add_device again repeating the process until
it dies.

Kinda looks to me like the best solution might just be to revert
the patch, I am not sure I see how that copy of the DT is supposed
to work?

Thanks,
