After looking a little closer at the patch set, it seems that number
one thing you need to do is simplify the driver. A lot.

I suggest starting from scratch with a clean implementation, only
bringing in the pieces you need. Over time, if other vendors are using
other aspects of the same IP, they get to add those parts of the
driver when they need it.  Look at the dwc3 driver for comparison on
cleanliness, it's much cleaner than what you've posted.
