Agreed.  A SoC prefixed compatible would be more specific and scalable
for handling different programming model of the same IP.  I will use
"qcom,qcs404-usb-hsphy" in v3.

Okay, I just did a bit of research and found that 'extcon' is becoming
a deprecated DT property recently and we should OF graph bindings to
specify the connector.  Will do in v3.

Right now, this is a qualcomm usb phy specific bindings - first used in
qcom,usb-hs-phy.txt and I extended it a bit for my phy.  As this is not
a so good hardware description, I'm a little hesitated to make it
generic for other platforms to use in general.  What about we put off it
a little bit until we see more platforms need the same thing?
