This already have been answered by others, thanks.

Disclaimer, I have no such board, but I remember people on IRC trying to
use the device tree from the VF2 on a Milk-V Mars and getting an error
with the USB being in a wrong mode.

The difference I have noticed is not a node but the dr_mode property:

&usb0 { 
        dr_mode = "peripheral";
        status = "okay";
};

This does not appear on the patches submitted on the Linux side for the MilkV
Mars.
