Maybe I use the word "control power domain" is not well, I just want to control the ldo of usb phy.
Revised:
The phandle of syscon used to control the ldo of USB PHY.

I mean the driver can support up to 4 phys.
For RTD1295 has only one phy.
For RTD1395 has two phys.

I have found other document.
It should be a uint32-matrix.
I will add the maxItems.

It can identify by compatible.

In my original intention, we hope that this property can be used to control the phy driver do parameter toggle.
Is it a hardware characteristic? I don't think it's exactly a hardware feature.
Maybe it can be specified by the compatible.

Same above.

This is a software flow control.
I will remove it.

I will improve this.

This is a software flow control.
I will remove it.
