Good to see we're getting a standard for this.
Have you talked to the RPi Foundation about updating their binary bootloader to follow this protocol? I'll certainly ack changes to make this work for U-Boot, provided the USB core patch this relies upon is accepted.

Ib both unit addresses and both reg properties, I would expect "1" not "01" since there's usually no leading 0 fill for those.
I'm curious why the VID values for the hub and Ethernet device don't match since those are part of the same combo chip. Is there a typo there, or did SMSC really do something odd in HW?
