I still don't understand. By use mt8192's compatible, that means you
have for IP0:

compatible = "mediatek,mt8192-xhci", "mediatek,mtk-xhci";

And for the rest:
compatible = "mediatek,mt8195-xhci", "mediatek,mtk-xhci";

If there's a 8195 quirk you need to work around, then you can't on
IP0. You need to be able to address quirks in the future without
changing the DTB. That is why we require SoC specific compatibles even
when IP blocks are 'the same'.
