I guess not, but if there are 2 then with my patch we are of no worse
then today, we will then pick the first otg controller. Whereas
of_usb_get_dr_mode_by_phy currently is broken even on setups with
a shared phy dt-node and only 1 otg controller, which are quite
common.

I believe it is unlikely that there will be more then 1 otg controller,
so I believe that we should not worry about this until we actually
hit this problem.

If no controller is found then of_usb_get_dr_mode_by_phy will return
USB_DR_MODE_UNKNOWN, just like it does today for controller nodes which
do not set dr_mode.

So in this case my patch does not change anything.
