+- reg: the port number which this device is connecting to.

Should it be noted here that the port number range is 1-255?

Actually the range is 1 - 31 (defined by USB_MAXCHILDREN set in 
include/uapi/linux/usb/ch11.h).

Why can't the root_hub reuse dev->dev.of_node?

Indeed, there's no need to add an .of_node field to struct usb_device, 
since the embedded struct device already contains an .of_node field.
