Good to see we're getting a standard for this.

Have you talked to the RPi Foundation about updating their binary 
bootloader to follow this protocol? I'll certainly ack changes to make 
this work for U-Boot, provided the USB core patch this relies upon is 
accepted.

Ib both unit addresses and both reg properties, I would expect "1" not 
"01" since there's usually no leading 0 fill for those.

I'm curious why the VID values for the hub and Ethernet device don't 
match since those are part of the same combo chip. Is there a typo 
there, or did SMSC really do something odd in HW?
