[PATCH 18.06 2/2] bcm63xx: VH4032N: fix non working LEDs and GPIOs

The GPIO hog feature is broken for bcm63xx in the 18.06 release. As a 
result of this, the whole GPIO infrastructure will fail, causing a non
working LEDs problem and empty GPIOs when a hog is requested at boot time.

[0.537448] requesting hog GPIO usb-hub-reset-gpio (chip bcm63xx-gpio.0,
           offset 27) failed, -517
[0.546564] gpiochip_add_data: GPIOs 480..511 (bcm63xx-gpio.0) failed
           to register

The GPIO hog is used in this device to pull out of reset the USB hub.

There is a kernel fix for the 19.07 release, 6d6127e537 commit. But to
avoid unexpected behavior on other devices, we'll use a simple workaround
to enable the USB hub. A fake LED is used instead.
