While I fully agree that the requisite parts should be moved to Kconfig, 
what I am trying to do is re-use as much of the existing infrastructure 
as possible. Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to the question of 
how to fix the underlying problem. Please see below.

At the end of this patch series, I add a defconfig with both 
CONFIG_DM_USB and CONFIG_SPL selected. We see undefined symbols and bad 
things happen when this revert is not applied, not the other way around.

Of course! And as you noticed this patch is a "lesser of two evils" fix. 
I do not have the bandwidth to rework the USB/SPL code, though I would 
like to avoid blocking ACRS2 support on SPL refactoring. Is this reasonable?
