I don't think that is necessary, it feels a bit too inflexible. But
perhaps you could add a comment to the Kconfig help for
CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE?

It is remove() that is needed, not unbind(). Actually I think it is
quite unfortunate to make usb_stop() call unbind. It is a waste of
time to do this just before booting the kernel - the current design
leaves all devices bound (but I hope we can remove() them at some
point).

Instead, I wonder if we can remove the children when we probe the bus?
Also, what happens to children that are in the device tree - i.e.
static USB devices like WiFi? The device tree might have parameters
for them. Still, that might not matter as I'm not sure that case is
handled correctly today.

True, although you also have 'usb tree' for that. Another option would
be to mark devices that were found and remove the others after the
scan.
