The USB core pairs the USB 2.0 and SuperSpeed ports of a USB 3 connector
by port number within one xHCI, or by ACPI location. On the RK3588, USB
3.0 host 2 is SuperSpeed-only and the connector's USB 2.0 lines go to a
separate EHCI: the SuperSpeed port is paired with a dead USB 2.0 port and
the EHCI port has no peer.
A usb-connector has its USB 2.0 lines on graph port 0 and its SuperSpeed
lanes on graph port 1. When the two lead to different hubs or host
controllers, pair the two ports through the connector. Root hub ports are
found in the graph by the controller's port number, as in ACPI.
This also applies the peer runtime PM rules to such connectors.

A SuperSpeed device that finds no SuperSpeed link at power-up connects at
high speed, and tries SuperSpeed again only after a VBUS cycle or a USB
2.0 bus reset. When a connector's two halves are on different host
controllers and VBUS is always on, as on the Orange Pi 5 USB 3 Type-A
port, a device present at boot connects to the EHCI before the
SuperSpeed-only xHCI is up and stays at 480 Mb/s.
When such a SuperSpeed root hub starts, reset once a SuperSpeed-capable
device that sits at high speed on a USB 2.0 peer port. Hubs are skipped:
the USB 2.0 half of a USB 3 hub stays at high speed. Resume and reset of
the root hub don't do this; a device suspended with the system can't be
reset.
The device leaves the USB 2.0 port, so whatever uses it by then (a
mounted disk) sees a disconnect.
