Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Incorrect precedence in `dwc3_ref_clk_period` causes the deprecated `snps,ref-clock-period-ns` DT property to override the accurate hardware clock rate.

usb: dwc3: core: Allow glue layer to pass reference clock rate

This commit allows the glue layer to pass the reference clock rate directly
to the DWC3 core driver. This enables hardware using the flattened snsp-dwc3
model to accurately calculate the period and frame length adjustment without
relying on the default reference clock.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this evaluation order cause issues for systems booting with a legacy
device tree?

If an older device tree defines the deprecated snps,ref-clock-period-ns
property, dwc->ref_clk_per is populated. In the flattened model, the glue
driver sets ignore_clocks_and_resets = true, which leaves dwc->ref_clk as
NULL.

Because dwc->ref_clk is NULL, the execution will fall into the
else if (dwc->ref_clk_per) block. This uses the deprecated and inaccurate
period-derived rate, completely bypassing the exact hardware clock rate now
provided via dwc->ref_clk_rate.

Should dwc->ref_clk_rate take precedence over the deprecated and less
accurate dwc->ref_clk_per?
