I sure can do that. My motivation for doing this was to cover explicitly
every case (machine type) where qemu does honour '-usb'. 'microvm' is
one of them (if ACPI is enabled) and it adds a MMIO mapped USB
controller.
Regardless of whether this patch gets applied the USB controller will
be removed from there as we don't really support the platform-internal
USB controllers for ARM boards either.
