If here include dual-role capable phys which are also taken by parent
node(11271000), will cause phy_init/_power_on them twice.
it seems ok if here include host-only phys, but I need test it.
If here include host-only phys, there will not be port1 for roothub
node, maybe it's a problem.

Hardware can automatically switch host/device mode by IDDIG pin, but
also we can manually switch them. Phy driver makes use of auto way.
