It is too premature for this.

In fact, the support for USB-3 HCDs is currently in flux. Sarah Sharp
has submitted a whole bunch of patches to allow for the creation of
primary and secondary HCDs, representing the USB-2 and USB-3 root hubs
of an xHCI controller. dummy-hcd should use the same mechanism.

This will means creating only one host-side platform device, and then
creating two usb_hcd structures below it. Tanya's design should be
based on Sarah's work.
