Which driver handle what function is decided by the driver *function*,
not where the actual HW logic is located, iMX8MP do have a "glue" layer
in SoC HW, some part is for phy config, and some part is for controller,
so we need put the part of phy config into the phy driver, the changes
you are adding is for controller so should be put in dwc3-imx8mp.c from
my point view.
