the very fact that MUSB tries to select those is wrong. That's also some
buggy legacy crap which is still floating around...

MUSB does not depend on TWL4030. MUSB depends on a PHY being available,
no matter which one.

IMHO, this would be better moved to board definition, ideally with an
option for selecting some symbol as module (as I have suggested before).

Ideally, all those broken dependencies on MUSB would be cut down to
depends on USB && USB_GADGET.
