No. What the vhub would do is when it probes, it creates a platform
device for each "port" child node that's linked to the DT node.

The driver for the device then attaches to it via standard DT matching
and checks if it has a vhub parent or not, and based on that, operates
as a vhub child device or a standalone one.

(For example, it might have different functions for EP selection since
standalone devices have private EPs rather than a shared pool)

They can both be in the same module or they can be separate modules
with cross dependencies.

Cheers,
Ben.
