USB support

[Gábor Paller]

Take one webcam as an example.
On desktop Ubuntu lsusb returns:
ID 093a:262a Pixart Imaging, Inc.
I connect my Beaglebone Black over the serial debug port and log in. The
message is displayed in the same console window:

ubuntu at localhost:~$ [  778.354357] usb 2-1: device v093a p262a is not
supported

In dmesg, there are some confusing messages:
[  778.225050] usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using musb-hdrc

[  778.354357] usb 2-1: device v093a p262a is not supported

[  778.359987] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=093a, idProduct=262a

[  778.360000] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0,
SerialNumber=0

sb-hdrc.1.auto/usb2/2-1/input/input0
