USB_G_NOKIA just needs a USB gadget controller to work. The gadget controller 
used for the board should come from the board's Kconfig which will ideally be 
supplied by the board's vendor.

For example, can't USB_GADGET_MUSB_HDRC be selected in MACH_NOKIA_RX51 in 
arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig? or is there a better place to put it?
