Hans can you add:

compatible = "cortina,gemini-fotg", "faraday,fotg210-hcd" or something
as composite compatible for our controller?

It's OK for the driver to only match on the latter for now, but for the
future it's nice for the driver to know what silicon it is on.

This is what I've done for most other Cortina/Gemini stuff.

Yours,

I prefer 
"faraday,fotg210-usb2"

I've got rejected by Rob due the fact this is an dual role controller, 
which supports both host and device mode. And DT must reflect this desgn 
pattern.

Currently I'm wrappingt my head around the design of the fsl-mph-dr-of.c 
driver to use this as a blueprint for the Faraday driver.

Greetings
