What if we try to get both PHYs irrespective of 'maximum_speed' but based
on presence of phandle/pdata. That way there is some control in the adaptation code (dts/pdata)
as to which PHYs needs to be initialized for that particular instance.

This is because there doesn't seem to be a consensus between different designs.
e.g. omap5 needs both phys for 'high-speed' whereas exynos5250 needs just the
usb3 phy for 'super-speed'

Maybe the USB2 PHY hardware is there on the Exynos5250 but it just doesn't have discrete power control.
Vivek?
