With CONFIG_TYPEC=m, this driver cannot be built-in:

arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/phy/phy-google-usb.o: in function `google_usb_phy_remove':
phy-google-usb.c:(.text+0x24): undefined reference to `typec_switch_unregister'

Add CONFIG_TYPEC as a hard dependency here to force a clean build.
In theory, compile-testing with CONFIG_TYPEC=n would also work, but
that seems pointless.

Enable support for the USB PHY on Google Tensor SoCs, starting with
the G5 generation (Laguna). This driver provides the PHY interfaces
