For information, this patch cause unexpected 'usb start' on STM32MP15x boards
and slow down the start-up in realease v2020.10.

For me it is unexpected because
- USB keyboard is not activated
- USB storage is activated but USB boot is not supported (not managed by distro boot command)

I sent a patch [1] for the associated defconfig but I'm afraid that other boards are impacted.

As the USB storage boot initialization is correctly managed by distro boot command 'usb_boot' 
(defined in include/config_distro_bootcmd.h, it already include 'usb start'), I think that the 
USB_STORAGE test should be removed or limited by !DISTRO_DEFAULTS.

[1] = "configs: stm32mp: force empty PREBOOT"
