xHC hardware needs to know which roothub port a USB device is attached to
when controlling the device, so the xHCI driver stores in each device the
roothub port which it's connected behind. This is done with two different
port index values, the 'real_port' which is an index to the xHC hardware
port register array, and the 'fake_port' which is the per hub port index
used by the hub driver.
Instead of finding real & fake port separately, find the root hub port
'xhci_port' structure which contains both real & fake port values:
- 'real_port' is ('hw_portnum' + 1)
- 'fake_port' is ('hcd_portnum' + 1)
i.e. real & fake port are 'hw_portnum' & 'hcd_portnum' in one-based
format.
The 'xhci_port' structure is a better way to refer to roothub ports than
the 'real_port' & 'fake_port'. As a result, these port indexes are slated
to be replaced with a direct pointer to the root hub port. This patch
setups the ground work for the future changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
