The default offset is fixed by macro DWC3_GLOBALS_REGS_START, and it is not specified by reg.
The dwc3/core is a general driver for every dwc3 IP of SoCs,
and vendor's definition and compatible should specify on its parent.
If we add a specific compatible to dwc3/core driver, then it will break this rule.
Therefore, I use a property to adjust this offset. 
If no define this property, it will use default offset. So it will not affect other board.
