These are not wrong, but they are also not needed. PCI devices should
be discovered by enumeration, and you don't have any additional
properties here, or phandles pointing to these nodes.

I assume these are COTS wifi modules? By listing them here you are
restricting some flexibility. The OEM could for example swap the
modules around, and Linux would not care, but the DT would then be
wrong. Or you could have a device with a different module because it
is cheaper, and again, Linux would not care, but the DT would be
wrong.

Same comment as PCI. However, it is likely that the USB hub is
actually on the board, not a module, so it is a lot less likely to
change.

As i said, they are not wrong, so you don't need to remove them.
