I haven't tested the described use-case. however, this patch is not
supposed to change the binding for actual devices.
USB device numbering starts at 1, while 0 is reserved for the root-hub
(at least from what I know).

Actually 1 is reserved for the root hub.  External devices are numbered
starting from 2.  (We can't use 0 for the root hub because, as you
said, USB device numbering starts at 1!)

I just had a look at lsusb again:
$ lsusb -t
/:  Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/2p, 5000M

however, for the devicetree bindings the devices are supposed to use 1-31: [0]

Alan: just to make sure I understood you correctly: do you agree with
this patch?

before this patch there was no way to
describe the root-hub via .dts. this however is required for some
platforms that need to set up a PHY for each port on the root-hub
(Amlogic Meson GXL platform is one example: there are two ports
enabled on dwc3's root-hub with 2x USB2 and 1x USB3 PHYs) - so this
patch uses a similar binding as we already have (to describe the
devices) to describe the root-hub
