giuseppe@sgi:~$ (lspci;lspci -n)| sort | grep ^01.08.02
01:08.2 0c03: 1033:00e0 (rev 04)
01:08.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04)

giuseppe@sgi:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 067b:2517 Prolific Technology, Inc. Flash Disk Mass Storage Device
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 067b:2515 Prolific Technology, Inc. Flash Disk Embedded Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

giuseppe@sgi:~$ dmesg | grep 0000:01:08
PCI: Enabling device 0000:01:08.2 (0000 -> 0002)
ehci_hcd 0000:01:08.2: EHCI Host Controller
ehci_hcd 0000:01:08.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
ehci_hcd 0000:01:08.2: irq 15, io mem 0x280003000
ehci_hcd 0000:01:08.2: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004

So, I think that PCI device 0000:01:08.2 is managed by ehci and its
assigned USB bus #001.
