Is VL805 the XHCI USB device?  A hint here would help non-RPi experts
know how this fits into the topology.

I think your impression is correct.  If this was posted to a mailing

ideal.

OK.  The "rpi_firmware_property" name doesn't give much of a hint that
it is sending messages.  It sounds like it might be a lookup function.
But that's an existing thing, not something you're changing here.
