There *IS* no upstream facing port.  The upstream link hooks
to a non-USB bus.

For non-root hubs, the answer is obvious:  the right one
according to the spec (high speed vs low speed) and hardware
capabilities (e.g. TT-per port, per-hub, or not).

For root hubs, any answer whatsoever is out-of-spec.  All that's
important is that Linux not confuse itself by the answer it gives.
