I reviewed this already, but since you didn't add my reviewed-by, I'm 
looking at it again and having 2nd thoughts.

If you have a hardwired device and need to know that, doesn't that imply 
there's some other stuff you need to describe beyond what a standard USB 
device has. Such as a power supply that's not Vbus from the hub.

At a minimum, I think this should be a per port property. Though really, 
I think this should just be implied by describing the device in DT. I'm 
not sure if there's a case for hotpluggable devices described in DT. 
Maybe with overlays.
