That is because the MP controller is host-only and it doesn't make sense
to ensure the OS of that in each board file separately. That's also how
it's done on other platforms with a MP controller description.

I have a X1E Surface Laptop 7 with a USB-A port with a NXP PTN3222 in
front of it. Tested with a smoke test, with both SS and HS USB-A devices.
