I asked around internally, and Ben Copeland mentioned that the hikey960
itself should still work fine with mainline kernels, but the role switch
driver was never getting tested.

I think we can just remove this driver. If anyone wants to get
the functionality working later, they can reintroduce a working
version in drivers/phy/, where all other usb-role-switch support
lives these days.
