We discussed this in context of Documentation/devicetree/bindings/xilinx.txt but 
there should be one more patch which removes that one documented property from 
xilinx.txt here.

It means please also send another patch which removes this part. I would suggest 
that this should be series of 2 patches. Where one removes driver itself and 
second this paragraph from xilinx.txt.

This patch is file that's why feel free to add

-      vii) Xilinx USB Host controller
-
-      The Xilinx USB host controller is EHCI compatible but with a different
-      base address for the EHCI registers, and it is always a big-endian
-      USB Host controller. The hardware can be configured as high speed only,
-      or high speed/full speed hybrid.
-
-      Required properties:
-      - xlnx,support-usb-fs: A value 0 means the core is built as high speed
-                             only. A value 1 means the core also supports
-                             full speed devices.
