Re: [PATCH v1 1/2] dt-binding: usb: ci-hdrc-usb2: document Nuvoton NPCM supprt

[Tomer Maimon]

Hi Rob,

Again thanks for your suggestion I took a look at the
drivers/usb/roles and I am not sure it answers NPCM ChipIdae case.
For example, in the NPCM845 we have ten UDC ChipIdea modules (UDC0-9).
Only UDC8 and UDC9 are muxed with USB host0 and USB host1.
NPCM UDC and NPCM USB host are different HW modules therefore different drivers.

The ChipIdea driver uses its own internal USB role function to switch
between ChipIdea UDC and ChipIdea USB host and we can't replace it
with a unique NPCM USB role function also we need to set the mux only
at the probe stage.

This is why I have added nuvoton,sysgcr property to the NPCM ChipIdea driver.

With the above do you think I should do it differently?
