This would fix only one of the USB controllers (dwc2), but not the others
that are affected. As I wrote in my suggested patch, dwc3 appears to be
affected the same way, and all other host drivers that call usb_add_hcd()
without first setting hcd->phy would suffer from this as well.

If we go down the route of addressing it here in the hcd drivers, we should
at least change all three of those, and hope this doesn't regress in
another way.
