This is a good idea.

Instead of doing this, it makes more sense to enable USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD
whenever host-side USB is enabled. In other words,
def_bool USB
The HAS_IOMEM won't matter, because USB is defined only when
USB_SUPPORT is enabled, and USB_SUPPORT already depends on HAS_IOMEM.
Of course, it will then be necessary to remove the dependency on
USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD from the "config USB" entry. Which is exactly what
you're trying to accomplish, anyway.

You probably don't want to add this dependency. After all, one of the
comments removed above points out that there are non-PCI xHCI
controllers.
