So can't we make the phy-omap-usb2.c driver the onlly user of this
register then and get rid of the mailbox stuff? I think the phy
framework can handle everything now?

Hmm I don't think omap3 uses that register? There's no ti,control-phy
anything in the omap3 dts files?  And no USBOTGHS_CONTROL in the TRM?
Or am I missing something here?
