I am just suggesting based on the common practice. If a .dtsi exists for
a family, the .dtsi describes the device and common properties for all
possible boards, and each board .dts adds or overrides its specific
implementation. Kernel has many devices/boards done in this way - define
the default dr_mode in .dtsi.

In this case, I suggest to set the common dr_mode in .dtsi, then each
board .dts only overrides it if the implementation is different.

Then define a default which supposes to work for most boards.

Why I suggest this, is because defining a default dr_mode which works
for most cases in dtsi could prevent a little surprise in MUSB function.
If someone designs a new board but forgets to define dr_mode in the new
board DT, the MUSB driver will default to org mode, which might not be
intended.
