This driver does not fit Linux development style at all. You duplicate
code instead of integrating with existing drivers. You call a driver
"Exynos" but include Marvell, Renesas code and actually do not include
Exynos related bindings. Usage of "generic-xhci" in Exynos-specific
driver looks like it is some hacking of downstream kernel. This driver
does not look at all like ready for submission.

There was entire team in DMC @Samsung and in Polish Samsung R&D devoted
for upstream Linux kernel work. There was in the past Open Source
Samsung Group. There were several folks from SoC division (Samsung LSI)
having significant experience in mainlining code (one of them recently
got as a co-maintainer of Exynos). I can point you to specific names, if
needed. All of them have huge experience in mainlining drivers, so
please reach them for help and get a training on working with upstream.
I mean, around 10 years ago Samsung was ramping up with open-source
submissions, so it was excused from not knowing the process and from
beginner's mistakes. After 10 years it's not a beginner anymore. It is
not expected to make beginner's mistakes anymore...
