Hi Greg,

As pointed out by Rob in the v3 review process the YAML conversion has
some side effects for new dt files. A good habit is to fix things before
they become in effect. That's why this patch is placed before the dtsi
changes and why Heiko asked to have a look at it.

For the sake of completeness there are other less optimal options:
- remove rk3399 support from dwc3-of-simple.c
- unselect CONFIG_USB_DWC3_OF_SIMPLE for new rk3399 device trees

In that case at least have it on record why USB maintainers didn't apply
it in case someone else start to complain about it later when Heiko goes
ahead with it.
