In earlier versions this was standalone driver, which was more flexible and
didn't require cooperation from the XHCI driver:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1313001/
Rob Herring raised objections about the DT bindings, since the USB hub would be
represented twice in the DT, once in the USB hierachry (with an explicit node or
implicitly) plus a node for the platform device for the new driver:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1305395/
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1313000/
Alan Stern suggested to create the platform device in the XHCI platform driver:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1313000/#1510227
I wasn't super happy about involving xhci-plat, but at least the code is minimal
and all the device specific stuff is handled by the onboard_usb_hub driver.
If you have better suggestions that might satisfy all parties please let us
know :)
