You are right, I should not add root hub or port description in
device tree, only the description for the device on that port is enough.

Ok, so the "reg" is the address for certain root hub (HS or SS), not
the unity address for the whole controller, if it is, do we really
need to add two nodes for one physical port, HS and SS will not be used
at the same time. And if the reg is the same, how can we know
which node is from current recognized device.
