Subject: [PATCH] usb: ulpi: don't register drivers if bus doesn't exist

ULPI registers it's bus at module_init so if the bus fails to register, the
module will fail to load and all will be well in the world.

However, if the ULPI code is built-in rather than a module, the bus
initialization may fail but we'd still try to register drivers later onto
a non-existant bus, which will panic the kernel.

Fix that by checking that the bus was indeed initialized before trying to
register drivers on top of it.
