Nit: I guess you mean ti,type?

Now that we can use the C preprocessor, it will be nice to use a macro instead of the value.

TYPE1 - if it has otghs_control mailbox register (e.g. on OMAP4)
TYPE2 - if it has Power down bit in control_dev_conf register. e.g. USB2 PHY
TYPE3 - if it has DPLL and individual Rx & Tx power control. e.g. USB3 PHY or SATA PHY
TYPE4 - if it has both power down and power aux registers. e.g. USB2 PHY on DRA7

Well, assuming you can find macro names that can explain a little bit what the type is about :-)

That being said...
Do you really need to expose the type here? Maybe with just a set of different compatible string you can figure out in the driver what type we are talking about.
It is always better to minimize the amount of information we put in DT as soon as we can infer it from the compatible string.

So instead of using a generic "ti,omap-control-usb" string + "ti,type" you can potentially use several specific strings: ti,omap4-control-usb, ti,dra7-control-usb...
Since the DT gurus are recommending to use specific compatible string as much as possible, this is maybe a better approach.

Benoit
