usb: hub: Per-port setting to use old enumeration scheme

The "old" enumeration scheme is considerably faster (it takes
~244ms instead of ~356ms to get the descriptor).

It is currently only possible to use the old scheme globally
(/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first), which is not
desirable as the new scheme was introduced to increase compatibility
with more devices.

However, in our case, we care about time-to-active for a specific
USB device (which we make the firmware for), on a specific port
(that is pogo-pin based: not a standard USB port). This new
sysfs option makes it possible to use the old scheme on a single
port only.

Description:
In some cases, we care about time-to-active for devices
connected on a specific port (e.g. non-standard USB port like
pogo pins), where the device to be connected is known in
advance, and behaves well according to the specification.
This attribute is a bit-field that controls the behavior of
a specific port:
- Bit 0 of this field selects the "old" enumeration scheme,
as it is considerably faster (it only causes one USB reset
instead of 2).
The old enumeration scheme can also be selected globally
using /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first, but
it is often not desirable as the new scheme was introduced to
increase compatibility with more devices.
