+Generic USB Properties
+
+Optional properties:
+ - maximum-speed: tells USB controllers we want to work up to a certain
+                       speed. Valid arguments are "super-speed", "high-speed",
+                       "full-speed" and "low-speed". In case this isn't passed
+                       via DT, USB controllers should default to their maximum
+                       HW capability.
+ - dr_mode: tells Dual-Role USB controllers that we want to work on a
+                       particular mode. Valid arguments are "host",
+                       "peripheral" and "otg". In case this attribute isn't
+                       passed via DT, USB DRD controllers should default to
+                       OTG.
+
+This is an attribute to a USB controller such as:
