I have sent out v2 and got Peter's valuable comment in return that the
v1 patch is actually correct.

These data sheets can be quite confusing, which is why I seem to change
my opinion about how things should be from mail to mail :-) Let's see if
we can figure it out together:

The Multi-PHY Interface section mentions a "USB 3.0 xHCI Host
Controller" for both RK3566 and RK3568. Additionally, on the RK3568 a
"USB 3.0 Dual-Role Device (DRD) Controller" is present. On the RK3566,
on the other hand, a "USB 2.0 OTG" is mentioned (extra item outside of
the Multi-PHY Interface section).

When I read your mail, I mistook the ehci/ohci controllers for the USB
controllers in charge for USB 2.0 OTG and found your comment to be
correct. However, they are related to "USB 2.0 Host" on RK3566 and
RK3568. Also, since it is explicitly stated that "USB 2.0 OTG" is a xHCI
controller, it becomes apparent that usb_host0_xhci corresponds to "USB
2.0 OTG" on RK3566 and to "USB 3.0 Dual-Role Device (DRD) Controller" on
RK3568.

Long story short, I agree with Peter and the patch at hand (v1) is the
correct one. Sorry for the confusion!

Best regards,
Michael
