The ehci node (usb at 12110000) has one port configured and it takes one
PHY reference (phy of id 1 - USB host). I can't see driver taking
reference to HSIC0 or HSIC1 phys... Since I cannot diagnose the error I
don't know what is really expected here.

The reset is done at the end of usb3503's probe. The question "why
usb3503 has to be initialized after EHCI and USB PHY" is still valid...

Anyway thanks for feedback! I really appreciate it.
