Setting USB_PHY as a module gives rise to these problems

arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `usbhs_init_phys':

So USB_PHY shouldn't be tristate IMO or at least the platform registration stuff
as the usb_bind_phy() part is used by platform code.

Alexander,

I agree with you that it can get difficult with users. But it is best for
users do not disable anything they are not familiar with.

As the USB_PHY option doesn't depend on anything, it is safe to select it
from USB_EHCI_HCD_OMAP.

However, the PHY drivers themselves must be selected from the board configs.
