I see you used 'depends on USB_COMMON' though instead of 'select USB_COMMON'.

This seems inconsistent with how we handle the other places after the patch
I did earlier this year [see below].

It probably works fine for now, but having a mix of 'depends on' and 'select'
can be confusing for users as well as create dependency loops that break
the build.

    usb: common: rework CONFIG_USB_COMMON logic
    
    The phy-am335x driver selects 'USB_COMMON', but all other drivers
    use 'depends on' for that symbol, and it depends on USB || USB_GADGET
    itself, which causes a Kconfig warning:
    
    warning: (AM335X_PHY_USB) selects USB_COMMON which has unmet direct dependencies (USB_SUPPORT && (USB || USB_GADGET))
    
    As suggested by Felipe Balbi, this turns the logic around, and makes
    'USB_COMMON' selected by everything else that needs it, so we can
    remove the dependencies.
