Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the review,

   The concern I had with that approach is that, we need to keep track 
of per port supported speeds in some array /flags and check them 
whenever we are modifying the dwc3-phy registers. This makes the code a 
little unreadable.

The core driver has only one compatible currently "snps,dwc3".

Are you suggesting to add new compatible to driver core in case any 
multiport device is being used and get this info from there ?

To do this, we still need to get info on number of hs/ss phy's present 
on hardware and currently there is no register I believe in DWC3 core 
global address space that can give this info. I see that HCSPARAMS1 Reg 
gives some info but that is not accessible from driver core.

According to databook:

"Number of Ports (MaxPorts)
-> Number of ports implemented is defined by the parameter
(`DWC_USB3_HOST_NUM_U2_ROOT_PORTS +
`DWC_USB3_HOST_NUM_U3_ROOT_PORTS)
-> Number of ports enabled is controlled by the core input signals
host_num_u2_port[3:0]+host_num_u3_port[3:0]"
