That makes the USB role switch support option visible and
selectable for the user. The class driver is also moved to
drivers/usb/roles/ directory.
This will fix an issue that we have with the Intel USB role
switch driver on systems that don't have USB Type-C connectors:
Intel USB role switch driver depends on the USB role switch
class as it should, but since there was no way for the user
to enable the USB role switch class, there was also no way
to select that driver. USB Type-C drivers select the USB
role switch class which makes the Intel USB role switch
driver available and therefore hides the problem.
So in practice Intel USB role switch driver was depending on
USB Type-C drivers.

USB role switch is a device that can be used to choose the
data role for USB connector. With dual-role capable USB
controllers, the controller itself will be the switch, but
on some platforms the USB host and device controllers are
separate IPs and there is a mux between them and the
connector. On those platforms the mux driver will need to
register the switch.
With USB Type-C connectors, the host-to-device relationship
is negotiated over the Configuration Channel (CC). That
means the USB Type-C drivers need to be in control of the
role switch. The class provides a simple API for the USB
Type-C drivers for the control.
For other types of USB connectors (mainly microAB) the class
provides user space control via sysfs attribute file that
can be used to request role swapping from the switch.
