The binding mandates it this way, but I guess we could decide to
make it a Linux-specific extension that we allow some of them to
be left out.

My mistake. It should be hub@1 and reg=<1>;
I accidentally confused the port number and the device number.

We should at least handle the case of multiple hubs connected to one
another I think. No need to limit it to directly connected devices
when it's easy enough to do hubs as well.

Ok, got it. So we can set the of_node pointer of a struct usb_interface
to the child node of the usb->interface->usb_dev that matches the
configuration/interface tuple.
For combined device nodes (class 0 device, single configuration, single
interface), I suppose we have both a 'struct usb_device' and a 'struct
usb_interface' that we could attach the of_node to, but we can
decide to always just use one of the two, to avoid having the
same of_node pointer in multiple 'struct device' instances.
Or we simplify it so we always put the of_node just in the usb_device
or the usb_interface, even if both are listed.

Ok, so if the USB spec allows it, we should probably try to handle it too.
