Good to get this fixed, but there's a series by Heiner Kallweit that adds support
for xHC controllers with just one roothub [1].
It will conflict with this.
We might need to change this a bit so that this can go to stable alone, but still
being being able to somewhat neatly apply that new series on top of this.
