Just adding from device driver view and change the name from "roohub" to
"port".

It is the port number (1-9), but not the root hub number.

At the most of embedded platforms, we have only one port per controller.
For example, at the non-hub boards, if there are two Standard-A ports,
there are from two different USB controllers.
But for Alan's case, it has six ports, and all from the one USB controller,
port 1 to port 6 are from the HS root hub, port 7 to port 9 are from the SS
root hub.

For the single port controller platform, the dts will be like below, port_1 is
under the HS root hub, port_2 is under the SS root hub.

&usb1 {
        port_1: nxp at 1 {
                compatible = "usb15a2,007d";
                reg = <0x01>;

                hub: genesys at 1 {
                        compatible = "usb05e3,0608";
                        reg = <0x01>;
                };
        };

        port_2: nxp at 2 {
                compatible = "usb15a2,007d";
                reg = <0x02>;

                hub: genesys at 1 {
                        compatible = "usb05e3,0608";
                        reg = <0x01>;
                };
        };
};
