A struct with callbacks can be passed down to the child devices, which call back into the drivers of their parents for notifications and when they need services from them (e.g. during suspend or on role changes). > 2.

That may also work as a way to avoid parsing the xhci registers, but I'm still not sure why simply counting the PHYs in DT would not work. Johan
