Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] usb: core: Make default authorization mode configurable

From: Niko Mauno <niko.mauno@...sala.com>

Make the default USB device authorization mode configurable at build
time. This is useful for systems that require a mode that is stricter
than the standard setting, as it avoids relying on the kernel command
line being properly set.
