[PATCH 3/5] phy: tegra: xusb: Fix ordering issue when switching roles on USB2 ports

The current implementation of USB2 role switching on Tegra relies on
whichever the previous USB controller driver was using the PHY to first
"yield" it back to USB_ROLE_NONE before the next controller configures
it for the new role. However, no mechanism to guarantee this ordering
was implemented, and currently, in the general case, the configuration
functions tegra_xhci_id_work() and tegra_xudc_usb_role_sw_work() end up
running in the same order regardless of the transition being HOST->DEVICE
or DEVICE->HOST, leading to one of these transitions ending up in a
non-working state due to the new configuration being clobbered by the
previous controller driver setting USB_ROLE_NONE after the fact.

Fix this by introducing a helper that waits for the USB2 port’s current
role to become USB_ROLE_NONE and add it in the configuration functions
above before setting the role to either USB_ROLE_HOST or
USB_ROLE_DEVICE. The specific parameters of the helper function are
choices that seem reasonable in my testing and have no other basis.

This was tested on a Tegra210 platform (Smaug). However, due to the similar
approach in Tegra186 it is likely that not only this problem exists there
but that this patch also fixes it.
