The msm8974 SoC has two phys that sit behind a mux. The primary phy is
typically used by the dwc3 instance for usb3, but it can also be used by
the chipidea controller if this mux is set to zero instead of one. It's
a board designer decision to use either the primary phy or the secondary
phy for the chipidea controller, but dwc3 can only use the primary phy
as it's the only HS phy it's connected to. I suppose if there's a board
out there that doesn't want to use the dwc3 instance because they don't
want USB3 they can use the primary phy for the chipidea instance and
keep the secondary phy powered off.
