Based on internal discussion decision was made to keep these patches only in soc
vendor tree. We are not happy with it but we are not going to invest our time
and take responsibility for the driver synchronization work at this point.
That's why if you insist on full synchronization with Linux version please
ignore this patchset and also serarate dwc3 clock patch.
Thanks,
