This is not what I mean, see this:

int board_usb_init(int index, enum board_usb_init_type init)

Add a new "init" type (or maybe change the init field to be flags) that will say 
"OK, do a fail init" ?

Thinking of it further, instead of using negative value here, like I mentioned 
above, why not make the "board_usb_init_type" into a field of flags , then add 
flag to init all controllers at once ?
