It's a tradeoff between keeping the individual bindings simple and avoid
unnecessary duplication. The current RTS5411 and TI USB8041 bindings are
very similar, which suggests combining them. However over time hubs with
diverging features could be added (e.g. with multiple regulators, a link
to an I2C/SPI bus, a clock, ...). With that a common binding might become
too messy.

>From a quick look through Documentation/devicetree/bindings it doesn't
seem common to have generic bindings that cover components from multiple
vendors. In that sense I'm leaning towards separate bindings.

Rob, do you have any particular preference or suggestion?
