But there is often a parent device in DT, as the xhci device is
attached to some internal bus that gets turned into a platform_device
as well, so checking whether there is a parent will get the wrong
device node.

That would be incompatible with the USB binding, as the sysdev
is assumed to be a USB host controller with #address-cells=<1>
and #size-cells=<0> in order to hold the child devices, for
example:

/ {
     omap_dwc3_1: omap_dwc3_1 at 48880000 {
        compatible = "ti,dwc3";
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <1>;
        ranges;
        usb1: usb at 48890000 {
                compatible = "snps,dwc3";
                reg = <0x48890000 0x17000>;
                #address-cells = <1>;
                #size-cells = <0>;
                interrupts = <GIC_SPI 71 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
                             <GIC_SPI 71 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
                             <GIC_SPI 72 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
                interrupt-names = "peripheral",
                                  "host",
                                  "otg";
                phys = <&usb2_phy1>, <&usb3_phy1>;
                phy-names = "usb2-phy", "usb3-phy";

                hub at 1 {
                        compatible = "usb5e3,608";
                        reg = <1>;
                        #address-cells = <1>;
                        #size-cells = <0>;

                        ethernet at 1 {
                                compatible = "usb424,ec00";
                                mac-address = [00 11 22 33 44 55];
                                reg = <1>;
                        };
                };
        };
};

It's also the node that contains the "phys" properties and
presumably other properties like "otg-rev", "maximum-speed"
etc.

If we make the sysdev point to the parent, then we can no longer
look up those properties and child devices from the USB core code
by looking at "sysdev->of_node".
