[PATCH 0/9] Fix USB2 and USB3 on NSP SoCs

Similar to the SATA patch series, USB2 and USB3 on Northstar Plus SoCs
was broken in a few different areas:

- the NSP variant was not described properly at the USB PHY level which
  prevented SoC-specific initialization from occurring
- the lack of DMP registers meant that the USB PHY could not complete
  the initilization and instead relies on the boot loader
- the EHCI controller requires some FIFO tuning which is similar to the
  XGS iProc SoC, otherwise DMA transfers eventually fail
- finally, the USB controllers are non coherent
