I understood this the answer was no.
We can define glue node as "simple-mfd" and/or "syscon", and the node
can include another function nodes like phy, sysctrl, and even dwc3-of-simple.

Since The dwc3/core.c calls phy APIs, phy_power_on(), then we can handle
regulators in phy driver.

On the other hand, I think it's necessary to deassert "resets"
before probing dwc3/core.c, same as "clocks". I'll suggest a patch to solve
the issue next.
