Just to be clear to everybody, that USB_ROLE_UNKNOWN is not handled in
drivers/usb/roles/class.c, so this patch is broken.
But the whole approach is wrong. That USB_ROLE_UNKNOWN is clearly a
flag where the other values in enum usb_role are actual switch states.
So it does not belong there.
In general, adding globals states like that just in order to work
around issues in single drivers is never a good idea IMO.
