It's a step back, yes. But only until v5.16 (I don't think the changes
will make it during the merge window). I guess you are concerned because
of your vendor fork? Mh, well actually I don't understand your concert,
because your tree isn't compatible anyway if we change the labels.

We'd trade the clear information where the device tree is from for
something that - in my opinion - is not worth it. I mean the device
tree (source) is used just here in u-boot for these three boards and
all have the usb nodes enabled.
