I have a system with a low-cost Amlogic S905W SoC that supports USB3 but has a USB3 root hub with no ports. This results in an error message and a hcd that is good for nothing. The USB2 root hub has ports and works normally. I think we can do better and omit creating a shared hcd if either of the root hubs has no ports. This series is based on discussion [0]. The series works as intended for me. What I couldn't test is the case of the USB2 root hub having no ports. Follow-up to this series could be applying the xhci-plat extension to other xhci drivers.
