When the number of ports of the hub is not between 1 and Maxports,
it will only exit the registration of the hub on the current controller,
but it will not affect the function of the controller itself. Its other
hubs can operate normally, so the log level here can be changed from
error to information.

Is this an error?  If so, report it as such, not as "information".

Same here.

What problem are you trying to solve here?

What hub do you have that has no ports, or too many, that you think
should still be able to work properly?

thanks,

when initializing the usb3 hub, an error will be reported
because the port is 0, but in fact it will not affect
the use of usb2, and the usb2 hub is working normally.
thanks, therefore, in order to reduce the severity of the log,
we hope to lower the level of this log.
Longfang
thanks.

Sounds like a broken device, why not fix that?

But you can not have a USB3 hub with no ports, isn't that against
against the USB spec?  How does this device pass the USB-IF
certification?

You did not reduce the severity at all, everyone can still see it.

Please try fixing your hardware :)

If this device is used only for testing and not for production, who 
cares how severe the log message is?

Alternatively, you could change the xhci-hcd driver.  Make it skip 
registering the USB-3 root hub if that hub has no ports.

But don't change these log messages.  They describe real errors, so they 
should be actual error messages.
