With the patchset in [1], tested successfully on a Nexbox A1.

On my Amlogic P230, the two USB-A ports works, the USB-OTG port work in Host mode, but does nothing connected as peripheral.
When trying to enable the DWC2 in peripheral mode, it fails by :
[   11.609586] dwc2 c9100000.usb: dwc2_core_reset() HANG! Soft Reset GRSTCTL=80000001
[   11.616962] dwc2 c9100000.usb: Specified GNPTXFDEP=1024 > 768
[   11.622643] dwc2 c9100000.usb: EPs: 7, dedicated fifos, 712 entries in SPRAM
