I understand that, but we just can't keep so many duplicated drivers in
mainline. chipidea udc had at least 3 different implementations. Now
it's the time to combine all of those and stick to a single driver.

Just make a plan to slowly move towards chipidea in the upcoming few
merge windows. I can continue to take in bugfixes for fsl_udc, but only
if I see that you guys are working towards merging with chipidea driver.
