There's already standard 'vendor-id' and 'device-id' properties. Use 
those.

So yes and no... I don't fundamentally object but keep in mind that
traditionally, the properties are about matching with a physical
hardware.

In this case however, we are describing a virtual piece of HW and so
those IDs are going to be picked up to be exposed as the USB
vendor/device of the vhub on the USB bus.

Not necessarily an issue but it's more "configuration" than "matching"
and as such, it might make sense to expose that with a prefix, though I
would prefer something like usb-vendor-id or usb,vendor-id...

Same as the above.

For all of this, it's USB specific, not vhub specific. I'm not sure this 
is the right approach. It might be better to just define properties 
which are just raw USB descriptors rather than inventing some DT format 
that then has to be converted into USB descriptors.

Raw blob in the DT is rather annoying and leads to hard to parse stuff
for both humans and scripts. The main strenght of the DT is it's easy
to read and manipulate.

Also not the entire descriptor is configurable this way.

That said, it could be that using  the DT for the above is overkill and
instead, we should consider a configfs like the rest of USB gadget.
Though it isn't obvious how to do that, the current gadget stuff
doesn't really "fit" what we need here.

Maybe we could expose the port as UDCs but not actually expose them on
the bus until the hub is "activated" via a special configfs entry...

Ben.
