Hi Rob,

 Thanks for the review. The reason I wanted to introduce two more 
variables is to get info on number of ports  and ss-capable ports 
present on hardware whether or not the user provides them in DTSI file.

In the code there are two types of per port / per phy operations:
a) Modifying GUSB2PFYCFG and GUSB3PIPECTL registers per phy.
b) Generic Phy operations - per phy.

In today's code, if someone doesn't mention the SSPHY in DTSI, 
dwc->usb3_generic_phy will be NULL and any call to phy operations will 
just bail out. And irrespective of whether we provide SS Phy in DTSI or 
not, we still configure GUSB3PIPECTL register.

Consider the following cases:

1. There are 3 ports and 2 of them are SS capable and all phy's are 
mentioned in DTSI.

phy-names= "usb2-port0", "usb3-port0", "usb2-port1", "usb3-port1", 
"usb2-port2"

When we count them in the driver, we get num ports as 3 (presuming 
num-ports = num of hs ports) and num-ss-ports = 2.

Since there is no ambiguity in which all ports to configure, we can 
modify GUSB2PHYCFG registers for all 3 HS Phy's and GUSB3PIPECTL for 
both SS Phy's.
This is a proper scenario.

2. If the user skips providing SS Phy on Port-0, then:

phy-names= "usb2-port0", "usb2-port1", "usb3-port1", "usb2-port2"

If we count the phys, we end up getting num-ports=3 and num-ss-ports=1.

Since in the driver code, we are not keeping track of which ports are SS 
capable and which ones are not, we end up configuring
GUSB2PIPECTL(port-0) instead of port-1  as the num-ss-ports is "1" which 
is incorrect.

3. If the user skips providing one complete port, in this case port-1 is 
skipped, then:

phy-names= "usb2-port0", "usb3-port0", "usb2-port2"

If we count the phys, we end up getting num-ports=2 and num-ss-ports=1.

Since in the driver code, we are not keeping track of which ports are SS 
capable and which ones are not, we end up configuring 
GUSB2PHYCFG(port-0) and GUSB2PHYCFG(port-1) instead of port-2 which is 
incorrect.

To avoid these scenarios, if we can get the exact number of SS Ports and 
Ports in total present on the HW, we can configure all the registers 
whether the phy's are provided in DTSI or not. (This is of no harm I 
believe as it still works in today's code)

Incase the 2nd and 3rd scenarios are not allowed and user *MUST* declare 
all the phy's in the DTSI, then I can go ahead and remove these 
properties and count them in the driver code.

Thanks,
Krishna,
