The datasheet on that chip is garbage and no real useful info on it but I did find a raspberry pi forums thread on the same hub, maybe that can help a bit.

I got that hub and it didn't work.

When I opened it up, the four USB wires were shifted over so the open pin was the one closest to the USB ports.

...and I suspect that hooking it up in that configuration may have fried my Pi Zero.
