Your guess is spot on.

In the controller's MMIO registers, the so-called core_conf_0
register has the following field:

chip_is_root: 1 means tango is root port, 0 means tango is endpoint.

Do you mean I would have to "fix" something in the XHCI driver?

Hopefully, no customer plans to give Linux more than 1 GB.
(Although the latest systems do support 4 GB... A lot of it is
used for video buffers, handled outside Linux.)
