There is even a documented callback (find_raw_port_number) in the hc_driver structure for converting between the numbering schemes. I don't know if all the existing USB-3 host controller drivers implement that callback, but they should. > Alternatively, you could use one of the high bits of the 'reg' value > to indicate which root hub is used.
