Two things to be aware of:

    1.	/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices has an off-by-one error in the
	"Port=" field.  Every value you see should actually be one
	higher than it is.  It has been this way for many, many years
	so we can't fix it now.

    2.	Port numbers are meaningless for root hubs, because root hubs
	by definition are not connected to any upstream USB ports.
