This patch does not belong to phy, so, doesn't need to add phy in
subject, meanwhile, please add GregKH as TO list, he is the right one
to queue this patch.

Since phy is definitely used in usb controller, load the phy earlier
to make boot time shorter.

NAK, make sure there are no such dependencies with your controller driver.
They should know how to defer probing if their resources aren't available yet.

I NAKed it first.

But after thinking more, I think it is a good patch, USB PHY works proper
is the base for coming USB controller operation, with this patch,
it can avoid the controller drivers which are linked earlier than USB PHY
always being probed deferral, look at drivers/Makefile, it links drivers
follow the similar method.

Zhangfei, you may need to add more description in your commit log to prove
it is a good improvement.
