So, to be clear, CONFIG_USB is not used in the code.  It's a
Kconfig-only option we can / should use to make navigation and
dependencies easier.  I would think that USB needs to be enabled for any
USB-related choice to be visible (so things can depends on USB or be
hidden under if USB, depending on overall file context).

So I would expect X86 (and most ARCH_xxx under ARM and other cases) to
at least imply USB, if not select it.

And peeking at the kernel, this maybe should be CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT not
CONFIG_USB, to be clearer?
