Please refer to my response at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/17a341aa-4711-4389-8ea1-a8169616baeb@ti.com/
on the patch quoted above
([PATCH] usb: cdns3: fix cdns3_bind() to avoid returning error and probe 
parent)

A common .probe as a stub will not work and probing the parent in 
cdns3_bind() doesn't seem to be acceptable. So reverting the commit appears 
to be the only option at the moment to fix non-USB Boot Modes.

Regards,
Siddharth.
