It is not an sc7180 specific issue. It can occur on any platform where the
dwc3 core has supplies that aren't ready when the dwc3-qcom driver probes.

It won't blow up right away since it requires 'wakeup-source' to be set for
the dwc3 core, which currently is only the case for 'usb@a600000' of the
sc7280 AFAIK (I set it for sc7180 in my tree for testing, which is when I
found the issue this patch intends to address).
