I wanted to explain the PHY specifier as I saw other bindings are also doing it,
e.g. "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/samsung,usb3-drd-phy.yaml".
Theoretically the hardware supports 3 PHY interfaces: high-speed, super-speed
and DP, however, the corresponding driver only supports high-speed at the
moment.
I can still document all the 3 PHY interfaces and assign them with
a theoretical specifier value here as that's what the hardware is capable of,
and then make it clear that only high-speed is currently supported on the driver
side. Does this make sense to you?

Ack, will fix it in the next patch.

Appreciate the review!
