I checked the initialization sequence but I didn't
find anything interesting.

I implemented the u-boot logic but I had the same code with version check
and I ended by removing it since it works for now without handling the versions.

Okay, ack.

I choosed to add something in the device tree to not hard code a
specific machine in
dwc2 in that case we let the machine dts or users facing the same
issue to add the dts
property without even submitting patch, but if you prefer manage this
with checking the
machine compatible I can make the change???
