Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] dt-bindings: usb: add "hub,interval" property

Add "hub,interval" property to usb-device, so hub device can override
endpoint descriptor's bInterval.

When we know reducing autosuspend delay for built-in HIDs is better for
power saving, we can reduce it to the optimal value. But if a parent hub
has a long bInterval, mouse lags a lot from more frequent autosuspend.
So this enables overriding bInterval for a hard wired hub device only
when we know that reduces the power consumption.
