Thanks for your patch!

During boot, the rs9 prints a warning:

    clk-renesas-pcie-9series 0-0068: No cache defaults, reading back from HW

which probably shouldn't be printed at the warning level?

This does not work, probing fails with:

    usb_phy_generic usb-phy: dummy supplies not allowed for exclusive
requests (id=vbus)

Adding a fixed regulator that serves as vbus-supply like in commit
fec2d8fcdedaeeb0 ("arm64: dts: freescale: imx93-phyboard-nash: Add USB
vbus regulators") fixes that issue (and my USB3.0 FLASH driver is
detected, yeah!), but a more accurate description would be better.
