It isn't in the USB 2.0 spec. That's why you can't find it. :-)

The macro is defined in drivers/usb/core/hub.h. It refers to the
length of the non-variable part of the hub descriptor. The parts of
the descriptor following the first 7 bytes will vary according to the
number of ports.
We loop 3 times in case a communication occurs. Lots of code in the
hub driver does this; many devices have problems sending their
descriptors.
