Ok. It will work with the way usb_of_get_child_node() is written but it
doesn't seem like great DT design if we want to support usb-device
binding and ulpi bus at the same time, because we treat the controller
node as the usb bus.

&usb1 { 
        status = "okay";

        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;
	phys = <&uphy>;
	phy-names = "usb-phy";

        hub: genesys at 1 {
                compatible = "usb5e3,608";
                reg = <1>;
        };

	ulpi {
		uphy: phy {
			compatible = "phy";
		};
	};
}

In this example, the ulpi bus doesn't have a reg property because it
isn't a port.

Perhaps we can move the usb ports to a subnode like 'usb' so that we can
have two logical busses underneath the controller, one for usb and one
for ulpi? We would need backwards compatibility code that looks for a
ports directly underneath the usb controller node when #address-cells
and #size-cells are present, otherwise it should fall down into a
'usb' subnode.
