I don't really get why this is needed? Yes, having proper bind and
unbind methods and having them called internally is relevant, but when
you have a single OTG controller, why is this needed? It basically
breaks the CLI, making bisects more painful and all updates just fail.

I've tested the whole series, unfortunately is does not work on
AM335x/BBBW:

* Any recovery attempted using the network will now fail in
  the SPL, where, AFAIK, there is no way to manually bind:

U-Boot SPL 2023.07-00806-gac80e6de9cf (Jul 23 2023 - 19:45:51 +0200)
Trying to boot from USB eth
Could not get PHY for eth_cpsw: addr 0
eth0: eth_cpswusing musb-hdrc, OUT ep1out IN ep1in STATUS ep2in
MAC de:ad:be:ef:00:01
HOST MAC de:ad:be:ef:00:00
RNDIS ready
, eth1: usb_ether

* The bind command was not available on my default configuration,
  making it even difficult for people unaware that this command is
  now required to fix their common commands.

* Any command that expects the usb_ether driver will now fail badly
  even after the bind call:

=> bind /ocp/usb at 47400000/usb at 47401000 usb_ether
=> fastboot usb 0

Is there anything I missed?

Thanks,
