IMHO, this property in the USB controllers does not make sense.
Indeed each controller cannot have a different 'mode'.
Some controllers are USB host only (EHCI and OHCI) and the USBF
controller I worked on is device only.
'h2mode' allows to choose between host or device on one of the USB
but not at the USB controller level.

This property should be handle outside the USB controller nodes.

Currently, this node (declared as a clock node) is in fact a sysctrl
node and can do some configuration not related to clocks.

I agree with you something related to choosing USB Host/Device in
a clock node seems strange.

Some discussion were already opened related to this property and how
to handle it:
