I don't have a need for it, as we can deal with role switching by
connecting connector/port@0 to the dwc3.

But if we ever have a need to describe the dwc3 -> QMP -> connector path
in the of_graph I think it would look prettier to have USB input as
port@1 and DP input as port@2...

Do you have a concern with keeping it around in the DT (the
implementation doesn't need to care)?
