There is precedence for describing enumerated device in the device
tree. Real OpenFirmware platforms can and will enumerate the PCI and
USB busses and pass a full tree to the OS. I don't think we want to
full enumerating like that with either ACPI or FDT, but we could allow
for sparse population of devices when something is fixed like a
soldered down USB hub or USB Ethernet MAC.

To make it work would probably require a hook in the USB enumeration
path to look for matching nodes in DT/ACPI and attach it to the struct
device.
