Hey! Thanks for taking a look at this!

So first, my apologies, I'm not the driver author and I don't have any
real specs on the hardware other then what's in the source tree I'm
working on. Not the ideal person to be documenting the binding, but I
realized we still needed some binding documentation (although a few
other dwc-of-simple compat entries are undocumented), so this is my
rough stab at it. :/

Given the name clk_usb3phy_ref I'm assuming its a phy reference clock,
but I honestly don't know if I'm getting that wrong. It all seems to
be leveraging the fact that the dwc-of-simple driver batch enables and
disables all the clocks w/o really looking at the names.

Do you have a recommendation for what would be best here? I suspect
it's necessary to enable/disable the clk in a similar path(though I'm
unfortunately traveling this week so I can't validate that). Do I try
to move the clk_usb3phy_ref clock enable/disable handling to somewhere
else?

thanks
