True and for that reason we need both UTMI+ interface as well as PIPE3
interface, right ?
But as also mentioned in the thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/12/181, on Samsung exynos5
architecturally same block is managing UTMI+ and PIPE3 interfaces,
which is handled by phy-samsung-usb3 driver and denoted by "usb3_phy:
usbphy at 12100000" node in "arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250.dtsi".

So on exynos5250, DWC3 really needs just usb3-phy, which is compatible
for USB 2.0 as well.
