usb: export firmware port location in sysfs

Browse source 
The platform firmware "location" data is used to find port peer
relationships. But firmware is an unreliable source, and there are
real world examples of errors leading to missing or wrong peer
relationships.  Debugging this is currently hard.

Exporting the location attribute makes it easier to spot mismatches
between the firmware data and the real world.

The file will read "hotplug", "wired" and "not used" if the

Description:
Some platforms provide usb port physical location through
firmware. This is used by the kernel to pair up logical ports
mapping to the same physical connector. The attribute exposes the
raw location value as a hex integer.
