Paul,

It's not something missing from Peng's previous patchset since that
didn't support DM. Marek added the dm bits but it requires some dt
changes that are still not present to make mx6_parse_dt_addrs work (or
some changes are needed to that func).

The way mx6_parse_dt_addrs is written you need to have a 'usb0' alias
for example that points to the phy node (compatible 'fsl,usbmisc') but
that is not what has typically been done for USB as typically the
alias points to the host controller instead.

I'm still interested in what Marek tested with and also think there's
a dt patch missing. The aliases should be added to imx8mm.dtsi, but I
also think they should point to the controller and not the phy so
there may be a code change needed as well.

Also, I wasn't aware that the power-domain dt bindings were accepted
upstream to Linux as there has been quite a bit of controversy there.

cc'ing some others that are probably interested in mainline USB on
IMX8M and likely know what's going on with IMX8M power domain. I
regret missing this patchset when it was submitted or I would have
asked these questions then... I just can't keep up with Linux and
U-Boot mailing lists with my work-load in other areas.

Best regards,

Tim
