fsl-usb.txt uses "dr_mode" here, which might make sense to reuse given some of
the shared IP in question for device mode:

 - dr_mode : indicates the working mode for "fsl-usb2-dr" compatible
   controllers.  Can be "host", "peripheral", or "otg".  Default to
   "host" if not defined for backward compatibility.
