I think when device is suspended (e.g. to RAM) no work will ever be
executed. The timers (for delayed work) will not wake up the device...
RTC could wake but this is different story. My proposal of deferred
timers is affected by idle CPU time. Are you sure that you want to
wake up from the system suspend?

You missed some of my comments. I mentioned wrong error paths around
put_usb_phy in probe. They do not seem to be fixed...

Just one hint - mostly new bindings are posted in separate patches at
the beginning of the patchset. I actually don't mind. but separating
them will probably give you higher chance of review from DT people.
This is also mentioned in:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt
