Are you saying that reg points to XHCI registers and the gap between
them and DWC3_GLOBALS_REGS_START is different on some implementations of
this IP?

Not entirely. It's how currently it is written, but not necessarily
correct representation. The parent is only glue part which for some
non-IP resources.

What rule? The rule is to have specific compatibles, so now you are
breaking it.
