I wasn't referring to DMA configuration there, but only to how we
set the of_node pointer in register_root_hub, which you added in
dc5878abf49 ("usb: core: move root hub's device node assignment after
it is added to bus") as:

	usb_dev->dev.of_node = parent_dev->of_node;

As I understand, parent_dev (aka hcd->self.controller) here
refers to the device that you add in ci_hdrc_add_device(),
which does not have an of_node pointer, so we actually
want parent_dev->parent->of_node.

I'm sure you understand that code better than me, so let me
know what my mistake is if this indeed works correctly.



Regarding the DMA configuration that you mention in ci_hdrc_add_device(),
I think we should replace 

        pdev->dev.dma_mask = dev->dma_mask;
        pdev->dev.dma_parms = dev->dma_parms;
        dma_set_coherent_mask(&pdev->dev, dev->coherent_dma_mask);

with of_dma_configure(), which has the chance to configure more than
just those three, as the dma API might look into different aspects:

- iommu specific configuration
- cache coherency information
- bus type
- dma offset
- dma_map_ops pointer

We try to handle everything in of_dma_configure() at configuration
time, and that would be the place to add anything else that we might
need in the future.
