Added support for multiport, mport, num-ssphy and num-hsphy
properties. These properties are used to support devices having

These seem redundant. Can't you count ports/phys?

Counting ports will not suffice as there could be devices which has different numbers of HS and SS PHYs. Consider a case like a Quadport multiport controller where we have the 1st & 2nd port supporting SS and 3rd & 4th port supporting HS only. So we would need the proper number
of HS and SS PHYs.
Currently in the RFC v2 we are calculating the exact number of PHYS supported by each port
by counting the phandles we have defined.

Think about how the USB device binding fits into this. A hub vs.
multiple root ports doesn't seem much different.
A hub will have multiple ports but only one HS and SS PHYs at the root port supporting it. With Multiport Controller, each port will have its own PHY [whether HS only or both HS & SS]
