Hi, Krzysztof & Conor

No, U-Boot will NOT be affected. Sorry for the misunderstanding due to the
inaccurate commit message.
 
I will send the next version with the improved commit message below:

The EIC7700 USB requires a USB PHY reset operation; otherwise, the USB will
not work. The reason why the USB driver that was applied can work properly is
that the USB PHY has already been reset in ESWIN's U-Boot.

However, the proper functioning of the USB driver should not be dependent on
the bootloader. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate the USB PHY reset
signal into the DT bindings.

This patch does not introduce any backward incompatibility since the dts is
not upstream yet.  As array of reset operations are used in the driver,
no modifications to the USB controller driver are needed.


Best regards,
Hang
