usb: phy: Improve Kconfig help for CONFIG_USB_PHY

The previous text confused users by not describing the very common
(e.g. x86 PC) sitations where no PHY driver is necessary.

menuconfig USB_PHY
bool "USB Physical Layer drivers"
help
USB controllers (those which are host, device or DRD) need a
device to handle the physical layer signalling, commonly called
a PHY.
Most USB controllers have the physical layer signalling part
(commonly called a PHY) built in. However, dual-role devices
(a.k.a. USB on-the-go) which support being USB master or slave
with the same connector often use an external PHY.
The following drivers add support for such PHY devices.
The drivers in this submenu add support for such PHY devices.
They are not needed for standard master-only (or the vast
majority of slave-only) USB interfaces.
If you're not sure if this applies to you, it probably doesn't;
say N here.
