Add a new driver for the USB 3.0 PHY on Exynos5 series of SoCs.
The new driver uses the generic PHY framework and will interact
with
DWC3 controller present on Exynos5 series of SoCs.

In Exynos, you have a single IP that supports both USB3 and USB2
PHY

right? I think that needs to be mentioned here.

As far as I know the IP is different.

Ok. Sometime back Vivek was mentioning about a single IP for both
USB3
quoted
and USB2. Thought it should be this driver. Anyway thanks for the
clarification.

Right Kishon, I had mentioned that Exynos5's dwc3 controller have a
single IP for USB2 and USB3 phy.
From what i see, on exynos5 systems the dwc3 controller uses a combo of
usb 2 (utmi+) and usb 3 (pipe 3) phy (with base address starting
0x12100000).

Kamil, Tomasz,

Please correct me if i am wrong.
I have the Exynos 5250 documentation and I found two phy register ranges:
1) USB 2.0 PHY having the base address of 0x1213 0000
	Chapter 33. USB 2.0 Host Controller
	Subchapter 33.5.2 Phy Control Register p. 1696
	First register's description is
	"USB2.0 phy control register"
2) USB 3.0 PHY (I guess) with the base address 0x1210 0000
	Chapter 35. USB 3.0 DRD Controller
	Subchapter 35.4.6 PHY Control Register p. 1872

Jingoo, could you comment on the above? You may know more than we do :)
Hi Kamil,

Thank you for trusting me. :-)
I just asked my validation engineer about 5250 USB PHY.
As I know, she has the best knowledge about Samsung SoC USB hardware.
She said that there are 2 PHY controllers such as USB 2.0 PHY, USB 3.0 PHY.

  1) USB2.0 PHY: USB2.0 HOST, USB2.0 Device
  2) USB3.0 PHY: USB3.0 DRD (3.0 HOST & 3.0 Device)
quoted
In addition, I have a question to you Vivek - does your USB 3.0
PHY support both host and device?
According to her, USB3.0 PHY can support both 3.0 Host and 3.0 Device.
Thank you.
In addition to this,

Vivek's comment is also right. :-)
A few minutes ago, I asked one of my USB S/W engineers.

USB3.0 PHY consists of two blocks such as 3.0 block and 2.0 block.
This USB3.0 PHY can support UTMI+ and PIPE3 interface for 3.0 block
and 2.0 block, respectively.

Conclusion:

   1) USB2.0 PHY: USB2.0 HOST, USB2.0 Device
                       Base address: 0x1213 0000

   2) USB3.0 PHY: USB3.0 DRD (3.0 HOST & 3.0 Device)
                       Base address: 0x1210 0000
                       2.0 block(UTMI+) & 3.0 block(PIPE3)
