Yes, I understand it.

When INCR is undefined length, we need to set the max INCR type, too, such as when setting INCR16, controller can use any length less than or equal to the 16 byte.

I understand it, too.

According to Balbi's suggestion, I changed the property like below, you can see the detail in v4 (sent by 1/18/2017)
Property "snps,incr-burst-type-adjustment = <x>, <y>..." for USB3.0 DWC3.
When Just one value means INCRx mode with fix burst type.
When more than one value, means undefined length burst mode, USB controller can use the length less than or equal to the largest enabled burst length.
