Hmm OK have to check that. It could also be that dm816x documentation
is copy-paste from da850 or am3517 and the PHY got changed in the
hardware as the registers don't match the documentation. Only the
dm816x errata has right documentation for the USB PHY.

OK thanks for confirming that. It's different from this one then.

Yeah it will be several days of work anyways, not currently my
priority for sure. Would be nice to get it done though.
