Why does the padctrl code need access to the XUSB mailbox? Isn't the
padctrl HW module something that provides services to the XUSB code. I
would have expected the XUSB node to reference the padctrl node. If
notifications need to be sent back from XUSB padctrl to XUSB, then that
seems like an internal SW detail that doesn't need to be represented in DT.

Isn't VBUS something that's controlled by the USB PHY? I think the PHYs
are part of the XUSB controller, whereas the XUSB pad control is just
the low level IO pad HW.

I wonder if some of that isn't part of the PHY not the pads?

Given the increased number of properties we now have, it seems better to
list the properties that *do* apply to each group, rather than those
that don't.
