As Krzysztof said in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201221210423.GA2504@kozik-lap/ (local) and Bjorn noted in his response to your email, the only way to solve the problem is to fix the user-land app so one would be able to deal with both old and new DT-nodes name.
How do you suggest this to be done? The userspace ABI in question is used to bind a USB gadgets to the particular USB controller, using the device name of the USB controller.
Alternatively you can just replace the dts with older one, where the name still have the "dwc3"-prefix.
This is exactly what Linus has mind when he tells us not to break user space. Regards, Bjorn
