Hi,

The new axp288 extcon driver has no dependency on USB itself but
calls the usb role switch helper functions. This causes a link error
when USB_COMMON is disabled, as that subdirectory never gets entered:

There are multiple ways of fixing this, I chose to 'select USB_COMMON',
since that is how we solved the same problem for other helpers like
USB_LED_TRIG or PHY drivers.

Thanks.

I agree that this is the right way to fix this (matches the other
drivers/usb/Kconfig bits):
