google/gru: Power-cycle USB ports in developer/recovery modes
Gru only uses USB 2.0 in firmware to avoid all the madness associated
with Type-C port orientation and USB 3.0 tuning. We do this by isolating
the SuperSpeed lines in the Type-C PHY so it looks like they aren't
connected to the device.
Unfortunately, some devices seem to already get "locked" into SuperSpeed
mode as soon as they detect Rx terminations once, and can never snap out
again on their own. Since the terminations are already connected during
power-on reset we cannot disable them fast enough to prevent this, and
the only solution we found to date is to power-cycle the whole USB port.
Now, Gru's USB port power is controlled by the EC, and unfortunately we
have no direct host command to control it. We do however have a command
to force a certain USB PD "role", and forcing our host into "sink" mode
makes it stop sourcing power to the port. So for lack of a saner
solution we'll use this to work around our problem.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:59346
TEST=Booted Kevin in recovery mode, confirmed that my "problem stick"
gets detected immediately (whereas previously I had to unplug/replug
it). Booted Kevin to OS in both developer and normal mode and confirmed
that USB still seems to work.
