Subject: [PATCH] usb: phy: allow modular build of DT helper

This one is a curious Kbuild glitch: The drivers/usb/phy/of.o file
is currently always built-in if CONFIG_OF is set, independent of
whether USB is modular or not.

For the case of CONFIG_USB=m && CONFIG_USB_GADGET=m && CONFIG_USB_PHY=n,
however the file is not built at all, because drivers/Makefile only
looks in drivers/usb/ for modules and not for built-in code. This
results in a link error with in the chipidea module:

ERROR: of_usb_get_phy_mode [drivers/usb/chipidea/ci_hdrc.ko] undefined!

To work around this behavior, this changes the usb-phy Makefile to
create a module named usb-phy-of.ko for this one file whenever
both CONFIG_USB and CONFIG_USB_GADGET are set to 'm'. This seems
to be the correct behavior as it also avoids unnecessary built-in
code when everything else related to USB is a module, and it nicely
avoids the link error.
