Hi Elson,

Just want to clarify, there are dwc3 properties and there are dt binding
properties. Often the case that dt binding matches 1-to-1 with dwc3
driver property. Now, we need to enhance the checkers so that the dwc3
driver property to match cases where it is platform specific and through
compatible string.
