Note I've just send a patch with the xhci-platform -> generic-xhci change
Arnd requested. I've left xhci-platform in the list of compatible strings
for now (marked as deprecated in the docs), so there should be no issues
regardless of what the dts version getting merged ends up using.

Would be good if we could ensure it uses generic-xhci though, and then
drop the xhci-platform compatible all-together in a follow-up patch.

Regards,

Hans
