Correct me if I'm wrong. When I look into the code, "snps,is-utmi-l1-suspend"
and "snps,hird-threshold" are used independently of the LPM mode atleast in one
place:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/usb/dwc3/gadget.c#n2867

But I could be completely wrong here as my understanding of the usb stack is not
that great.

Going by this commit message it sounds like it. But...

If you read my last reply one more time, I didn't reason it based on the vendor
code.

But I hear a contradict reply from Qcom saying that these properties are
required as a part of the DWC3 IP integration with the SoC. I need to recheck
with them again tomorrow.

Also, if these properties are application specific then they shouldn't be in
devicetree atleast :/
