USB: misc: Add onboard_usb_hub driver

The main issue this driver addresses is that a USB hub needs to be
powered before it can be discovered. For discrete onboard hubs (an
example for such a hub is the Realtek RTS5411) this is often solved
by supplying the hub with an 'always-on' regulator, which is kind
of a hack. Some onboard hubs may require further initialization
steps, like changing the state of a GPIO or enabling a clock, which
requires even more hacks. This driver creates a platform device
representing the hub which performs the necessary initialization.
Currently it only supports switching on a single regulator, support
for multiple regulators or other actions can be added as needed.
Different initialization sequences can be supported based on the
compatible string.

Besides performing the initialization the driver can be configured
to power the hub off during system suspend. This can help to extend
battery life on battery powered devices which have no requirements
to keep the hub powered during suspend. The driver can also be
configured to leave the hub powered when a wakeup capable USB device
is connected when suspending, and power it off otherwise.

Technically the driver consists of two drivers, the platform driver
described above and a very thin USB driver that subclasses the
generic driver. The purpose of this driver is to provide the platform
driver with the USB devices corresponding to the hub(s) (a hub
controller may provide multiple 'logical' hubs, e.g. one to support
USB 2.0 and another for USB 3.x).

Note: the current driver/binding only works with hubs connected
directly to a root hub. The reason for this is that USB devices
find their corresponding platform device by iterating over the
child device tree nodes of their parent until they find a node
that has a supported compatible string and an associated platform
device. This works as long as there is only one such device. More
than one supported onboard hub could be connected to the parent
(like on a 2nd, 3rd, ... level hub with multiple downstream
ports) some other way for identifying the platform device is
needed. The relationship could be established through a phandle
in the node of the USB device(s).
