There are people out there that are running trogdor devices with
upstream Linux. There's not much we can do about it, but probably this
patch will cause them to fail to probe USB because they won't have
"CONFIG_USB_ONBOARD_HUB=y". Luckily the commit subject has "USB" in it
so hopefully it'll be easy to spot, but I wonder if we should add
something to the commit message that makes that super obvious and
tells them about the relevant commit, like:

For anyone using trogdor-based devices on Linux, it should be noted
that this requires "CONFIG_USB_ONBOARD_HUB=y".

I presume it will be moderately annoying if this lands in the Qualcomm
branch before the driver lands in mainline? Otherwise USB will fully
stop working on the Qualcomm branch. Do we want to postpone landing
this?
