If you were doing a new SOC, then I'd tell you don't use usb-phy, but in this case as usb-phy is still used on QC SOCs I think it is okay. > I don't understand what's going on with the different probe routines and how the > SoC-specific parts interact with the core.

I believe the msm probe calls the core which then creates sub-devices for the host and device sides. Then the host and device drivers are probed. The SOC probe can fill in a phy or the core code will do it. The problem with the core code is that it will not do a deferred probe. It may still work though if you remove this from the msm probe: phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(&pdev->dev, "usb-phy", 0); if (IS_ERR(phy)) return PTR_ERR(phy); ci_hdrc_msm_platdata.usb_phy = phy; You can support the old and new bindings just by doing: phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(&pdev->dev, "usb-phy", 0); if (IS_ERR(phy) == -EPROBE_DEFER) return PTR_ERR(phy); else { phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(&pdev->dev, "phys", 0); if (IS_ERR(phy)) return PTR_ERR(phy); } Not the prettiest code. If the QC maintainers don't care about compatibility with old dtb's then you could just switch everything (dts's and driver) to use phys instead. Perhaps this should be in a wrapper function as I'd like to see all users of usb-phy migrate to phys and the driver shouldn't really care what the property name is.
