Hi Johan,

   Thanks for the review comments. Ideally the HCC_PARAMS1 must indicate 
total number of ports supported. If not then I believe the core 
consultant configuration is wrong.

According to the spec:

"The MaxPorts value in the HCSPARAMS1 register defines the number of
Port Register Sets (e.g. PORTSC, PORTPMSC, and PORTLI register sets)."

So shouldn't the (usb2+usb3 ports be equal to MaxPorts to ensure each 
port properly accesses the respective PortSC etc., ?

Do we have any machines today that support HOST_ONLY_CONFIG indicated in 
HWPARAMS0 that support multiport and violate this rule ?

Krishna,
