Hello Chunfeng,
what are are the side effects on the USB2 PHY? Can you please expand?

Also, wouldn't it be possible to also reset the USB2 PHY when resetting the t-phy
in order to get it back up and running?

Moreover, as for the USB3.2 hardware limitation... I would say that this is more
like something that has to be accounted for in the USB driver, instead of the PM
domains driver... unless there's some reason that stops you from doing that?

Thanks,
- Angelo
