    usb: xhci: Add NVIDIA Tegra XUSB controller driver

    Add support for the on-chip XUSB controller present on Tegra SoCs. This
    controller, when loaded with external firmware, exposes an interface
    compliant with xHCI. This driver loads the firmware, starts the
    controller, and is able to service host-specific messages sent by the
    controller's firmware.

    The controller also supports USB device mode as well as powergating
    of the SuperSpeed and host-controller logic when not in use, but
    support for these is not yet implemented.

    Based on work by:
      Ajay Gupta <ajayg@...dia.com>
