I'm confusing about that.

This is an interface logic and doesn't have USB functions by itself.
Surely there is a USB host controller node "usb@..." in the same SoC.
Can this node be renamed to "usb"?

I've renamed the dts node name once in commit 4cc752a88ca9
("arm64: dts: uniphier: Rename usb-glue node for USB3 to usb-controller").

The glue layer has a fixed register address for each child unlike
the previous patch.

This layer has also the other registers for USB core outside
the child nodes, however, there is no parent device that manages
these registers, so this layer node itself should take care of these
registers.

Yes, this "glue layer" is an interface of the USB controller, so these
children are only used for the USB controller.
