The controller driver may be NULL if the controller device is the middle device between platform device and roothub. This middle device may not need a device driver due to all hardware control can be at platform device driver, this platform device is usually a dual-role USB controller device. The benefit of using this middle device is we can keep both controller device's private data (known as struct usb_hcd) for USB core use, and platform device's private data for platform driver use.
