Perhaps you should move allocation of struct dwc3 to the caller as well
as you are going to need some way to pass in callback to core which need
to be set before you register the xhci platform device.

There could be other ways, like passing in a struct of callbacks, which
can be added incrementally but it may be good think this through from
the start.

This is broken however as the pm ops access the data driver data and can
be called as soon as you call pm_runtime_put() below.

That is here.

And that leaves a window, for example, here where you can hit a NULL
pointer dereference.
