Marek,

That does resolve the issue with mx6_parse_dt_adds failing and works
for IMX8MM host mode (and likely peripheral mode) but not for otg. For
otg we also need something like:
@@ -523,7 +568,7 @@ static int ehci_usb_phy_mode(struct udevice *dev)
                        plat->init_type = USB_INIT_DEVICE;
                else
                        plat->init_type = USB_INIT_HOST;
-       } else if (is_mx7()) {
+       } else if (is_mx7() || is_imx8mm()) {
                phy_status = (void __iomem *)(addr +
                                              USBNC_PHY_STATUS_OFFSET);
                val = readl(phy_status);

but then the issue is we hang due to the otg power domain not being
enabled when ehci_usb_of_to_plat is called and I'm not quite clear why
that is. Why would the power domain get probed/enabled for the usbotg2
bus but not the usbotg1 bus? Here is some debugging:
u-boot=> usb start
starting USB...
Bus usb at 32e40000: ehci_usb_phy_mode usb at 32e40000
usb at 32e40000 probe ret=-22
probe failed, error -22
^^^ probe fails here because ehci_usb_phy_mode returns EINVAL for
dr_mode=otg but if we try to read the phy_status reg we will hang b/c
power domain is not enabled yet
Bus usb at 32e50000: imx8m_power_domain_probe gpc at 303a0000

^^^ why did power domain get probed on the 2nd bus and not the first?

I also verified your patch does not break USB for IMX6Q/DL ventana as well.

I am still a bit concerned that the power-domain patches you merged in
this series are introducing bindings that are not approved upstream:
d78f7d8199 ARM: dts: imx8mn: Add power domain nodes
f0e10e33e5 ARM: dts: imx8mm: Add power domain nodes

Are you under the impression that is what will go upstream? I'm still
waiting to see what this 'virtual power-domain' patch looks like that
I believe Abel or Jacky was going to work on. Perhaps you, Adam, or
Frieder took part in that discussion?

Best regards,

Tim
