All three patches:

You can easily avoid the link order restriction now by returning -EPROBE_DEFER
from the probe function of the device that needs this one.

Put a phandle into the usb device node, like:

       isp1301: usb-transceiver at 23 {
		compatible = "nxp,isp1301";
		reg = <23>;
	};

       usbd at 31020000 {
               compatible = "nxp,lpc32xx-udc";
               reg = <0x31020000 0x300>;
               interrupt-parent = <&mic>;
               interrupts = <0x3d 0>, <0x3e 0>, <0x3c 0>, <0x3a 0>;
	       transceiver = <&isp1301>;
               status = "disable";
       };

Then add a device_node argument to the isp1301_get_client() function
and change the function to use bus_find_device() with a match function
that compares the driver pointer.

Alternatively (and much more complex), you could add a generic usb-transceiver
abstraction that does this and also hides the register accesses behind
hardware independent function calls.
