Actually this series is an attempt to get rid of a misuse of the
onboard_usb_hub driver by a device that is not a HUB, but requires the
platform-part of that driver for the initialization.

What would be the best approach to provide support upstream? Should I
turn this driver into a generic USB driver that does what the
platform-part of the onboard HUB does? Or are we willing to accept
non-HUB devices in the onboard_usb_hub driver even though it supports
more operations?

I am adding linux-usb to this thread in case someone has other suggestions.

Thanks and best regards,
