OK, got a chance to try things with that patch. Both v6.0 and v6.0
with my patches reverted work the same, my Kingston DataTraveller USB
stick enumerates and works as expected.

OK to cut this back and forth short, I think it'd be easier to just
ask you to run what I run. Here's vanilla v6.0 bzImage and initrd
(built with your config + CONFIG_PHY_TUSB1210=y) I tested with
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1H28AL1coPPZ2kLTYskDuDdWo-oE7DRPH?usp=sharing
let's see how it behaves on your setup. There's also the U-Boot binary
I use in that folder in case you want to give it a try.

Now on Merrifield dwc3_get_extcon() doesn't do anything but call
extcon_get_extcon_dev() which doesn't touch any hardware or interact
with other drivers, so assuming

still holds(did you double check that with vanilla v6.0?) the only
difference that I can see is execution timings. It seems to me it's
either an extra delay added by execution of  extcon_get_extcon_dev()
(unlikely) or multiple partial probes that include dwc3_core_init()
that change things. You can try to check the latter by adding an
artificial probe deferral point after dwc3_core_init(). Something like
(didn't test this):
