Are we planning a different approach for this ?
Since we are basing the phy-calibration patches for phy-exynos5-usbdrd
on this series
and we need to register the phy lookup table in DWC3, and get the PHYs
in xhci-plat.

The following patch in this series (which is based on this change)
help us achieve that :
[PATCHv2 6/6] usb: dwc3: host: convey the PHYs to xhci
