This isn't really generic. Maybe there's a set of hubs with only a 
single supply much like 'simple-panel', but I kind of doubt that here. 
There aren't hundreds of hub chips like panels. Though, we should put 
this into bindings/usb/hub/ so we start collecting hub bindings in one 
place.

A generic driver doesn't have to have a generic binding. You can have a 
specific device binding which is handled by a generic driver. Or not. 
Who knows. Maybe a simple user like u-boot has a generic driver while 
something more feature rich has a device specific binding.

Now we have usb-device.yaml, you need:

allOf:
  - $ref: usb-device.yaml#
