AFAIK it is not possible to route VBUS directly to the controller on
these SoCs so this property would likely be added to the SoC dtsi
(i.e. msm8916.dtsi and msm8939.dtsi) and used by all boards.

This means we could just bind this behavior to the existing SoC-specific
compatible (i.e. of_device_is_compatible(..., "qcom,usb-hs-phy-msm8916"))
and avoid having an extra property.

Thoughts?
