The dwc3/core is a general driver for every dwc3 IP of SoCs,
and vendor's definition and compatible should specify on its parent.
This should be inappropriate if we add a special platform compatible to dwc3/core driver.
Therefore, I define this property to adjust this value. This is more resilient.
If there are other platforms that also have non-standard offset, this property is also applicable.
Thank,
