Just listing possible options. Obviously, no one wants the dirty stuff
in their code...

There would never be a need in u-boot to support boot from USB mass
storage? In which case you would have to handle this reset line leaving
it deasserted and linux would likely never know. (Yes, I know we can't
rely on bootloader setup.)

An embedded hub with gpio controlled reset line sounds fairly generic to
me. The only platform specific part is which gpio line which is nothing
new to deal with.

On the other hand, this is really a flaw in the h/w design as whether
the hub is integrated on board or a separate hub should be transparent
to s/w. So just keeping it contained in platform code may be the best
option.
