currently it doesn't use separate notes for the roothub - however,
with this patch it could (although I haven't explicitly tested this)

I can do the same tests that Neil did with SoCs that use a dwc2
controller (Amlogic Meson8m2 and Meson8b).
the only SoC I have which uses a dwc3 controller is an Amlogic Meson
GXL - however this won't see any devices (apart from the root-hub)
without this patch

the endpoint you're seeing is the root-hub - you can see the full .dts here: [0]

maybe my patch description or documentation is not clear - could you
please explain what makes you think that specifying the root-hub
didn't work before (so I can update the comments where needed)?
to sum up what this series does: find the node with reg = <0>; (= the
root-hub) and get all PHY instances from the child-nodes
this should not change any existing behavior except if someone had a
node with reg = <0>; below any USB controller node (which was
undocumented behavior before my patches)


Regards,
Martin
