I would like to point that this was not a very good idea:

The problem comes up with all those "glue" layers like e.g. in usb/dwc3 and everywhere else.
Those "glues" primarily bind drivers to e.g. USB interfaces like e.g. dwc3-generic does. That is where it should stop because glue knows better what to bind. However, after glue has bound appropriate drivers to their interfaces that post_bind scans FDT again and finds yet another bunch of drivers that it binds on top of what glue already bound. This happens e.g. with DWC3 drivers that glues bind to interfaces depending on their declared roles. However both peripheral and XHCI drivers are compatible with "snps,dwc3" so they are bound on top creating a huge mess. Here is a dm tree fragment of its action:

The glue bound imx8m_dwc3_peripheral to USB0 then post_bind found yet another "compatible" driver, xhci-dwc3 and bound it to the same interface.
Then glue bound xhci-dwc3 to USB1 but post_bind found yet another "compatible" driver, xhci-dwc3 and bound it again so there are TWO xhci drivers bound to the same interface.
This is simplified picture -- I removed "compatible" from my peripheral driver so it only comes up once, under USB0. If I leave that "compatible" with "snps,dwc3" there everything gets even weirder :(
That diff above is the latest 2019.04-rc3 u-boot-imx-next vs 2019.01-rc something release.
We either need some additional special flag to disable that post_bind where it is not needed or create a special new class for those binding "glues" or this change should be reverted.
P.S. I'm going to post imx8m USB glue, USB PHY, USB peripheral initial drivers probably Monday late night as they still need some cleanup. It all works with full Linux Kernel DTS files, picks power domains from there.
Don't know what to do with my board-specific DTS as there is (and probably will not be) our board submitted -- it is not secret but used in our devices only and not available to the public -- so it doesn't make sense to post a full DTS. Will probably send a fragment.
