This something we don't have to define ad-hoc. The hub hangs off an USB
controller, right? The "Open Firmware recommended practice: USB"
document already describes how to represent USB devices in a generic
manner:
http://www.firmware.org/1275/bindings/usb/usb-1_0.ps

Is there a reason not to reuse this?

The usb hub node would be a child of the usb controller node, and it
could use
	compatible = "usb,class9"; /* bDeviceClass 9 (Hub) */

Is clock-names necessary for a single clock?

I'd prefer that to be just "reset-gpios", it is the only reset property
in the hub node after all. And use the GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH/LOW flags to
indicate polarity.

Then this could be dropped.

And consequently, this could just be called "reset-duration-us".
It might make sense to define the same for other reset GPIOs, too.
The Freescale FEC, for example, has "phy-reset-duration" (in ms)
already.
