I found out that the dwc2 block is not used on my GXM SoC. the
configuration register forces it to "device" mode only, so it wouldn't
be of much use anyways.

with my latest PHY fixes I can now use both USB ports (both provided
by the dwc3 controller's internal hub). the work-in-progress code can
be found here: [0]
