Like PCIe, there's a standard way to describe USB devices in DT. Though
PCI is easy compared to USB. :(

Also like PCIe on Hikey, I'm less than thrilled to define how this
should look for a board that's generally not widely available or well
supported.

s/_/-/

Why is one compatible pretty generic and the other very specific?

If a GPIO, why is it not using a GPIO DT property?

Ditto?

GPIOs controlling a power rail should use a gpio-regulator.

And still, not a GPIO DT property...

You're describing this in terms of driver connections rather than h/w
connections.

But we've already got ways to describe the data connections. For
starters, it should be a child of the USB host.

And how does all this tie in with the USB connector binding?
