Thank you for clarifying this point. I only covered the platform device
and such device links are missing. I will opt for the inclusion in
onboard_usb_hub, which already covers both devices.

I meant valid upstream, so sending such patch makes sense to the
community (and not only to us). So far you are the source of feedback
upstream, so I will follow your advice.
