Not if it's not going to be used.

and how would you know before hand if it's going to be used or not ?

1) Do you think all the OMAP3 boards should add that?

why not ?

You prefer a patch that adds one line per board rather than a patch
that adds one line in total... That is exactly the opposite of Linus's
complaint regarding big ARM changesets.

The thing is that what you are proposing will not scale when we have too
many boards with different transceivers. Then we will end up with things
like:

config USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI
        boolean
        # ARM:
        default y if SA1111
        default y if ARCH_OMAP
        default y if ARCH_LH7A404
        default y if ARCH_S3C2410
        default y if PXA27x
        default y if PXA3xx
        default y if ARCH_EP93XX
        default y if ARCH_AT91
        default y if ARCH_PNX4008 && I2C
        default y if MFD_TC6393XB
        default y if ARCH_W90X900
        default y if ARCH_DAVINCI_DA8XX
        # PPC:
        default y if STB03xxx
        default y if PPC_MPC52xx
        # MIPS:
        default y if MIPS_ALCHEMY
        default y if MACH_JZ4740
        # SH:
        default y if CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7720
        default y if CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7721
        default y if CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7763
        default y if CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7786
        # more:
        default PCI

which to me would be much better that e.g. SA1111 does a select
USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI like it's done for HAVE_CLK
