Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: phy: don't mark usb_bind_phy as __init

It makes no sense for a symbol to be both exported and marked __init,
because any users in modules would be calling this function after
it gets discarded. Further, this patch revolves a section mismatch
warning from usbhs_init_phys(), which is intentionally not marked
__init:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x413f8): Section mismatch in reference from
the function usbhs_init_phys() to the function .init.text:usb_bind_phy()
