The original question was:

There is a driver in the tree called fsl-mph-dr-of.c. Does this driver
handle a hardware which is compatible to the hardware the chipidea
driver handles?

I think the answer is yes, because said driver registers a ehci device,
or fsl-usb2-udc device (the same we used on i.MX). This hardware also
has a PORTSC register. All this seems to suggest that

drivers/usb/host/fsl-mph-dr-of.c
drivers/usb/host/ehci-fsl.c
drivers/usb/otg/fsl_otg.c
drivers/usb/gadget/fsl_usb2_udc.h
drivers/usb/gadget/fsl_udc_core.c

Could be replaced by the chipidea driver.
