[PATCH,RFC] usb: add devicetree helpers for determining dr_mode and phy_type

Why don't we use a u32 property type for the *phy-type*? IMHO we
should use string property only when the property should be
absolutely unambiguous (e.g., compatible property should be string).
If we would use u32-numbers in the compatible entry, this would also be
unambiguous, no? 0xd00dfeed would be the at24-driver. Pretty specific.

I don't mind having readable devicetrees. And we have it for ethernet
phys already with strings, so it would be consistent.
