m31,ipq5332 seems wrong, as m31 did not create ipq5332. Does the m31
device have some name/version/model? If it is not really known, then I
would just propose to go with qcom,ipq5332-usb-hsphy.

Skip generic compatible ("usb-hsphy") entirely.

And then we have... existing bindings qcom,usb-hs-phy.yaml. Don't create
something similar with difference in the hyphen. Just use device
specific compatible thus device specific filename.

Then drop reg-names entirely.

Shouldn't USB controller choose what type of PHY type it wants?

This does not solve my comments. I did not write "label" but "node name".

Best regards,
