docs: usb: rename files to .rst and add them to drivers-api
While there are a mix of things here, most of the stuff
were written from Kernel developer's PoV. So, add them to
the driver-api book.

A follow up for this patch would be to move documents from
there that are specific to sysadmins, adding them to the
admin-guide.

+- Convert interrupt handler to per-ep-thread-irq
+
+  As it turns out some DWC3-commands ~1ms to complete. Currently we spin
+  until the command completes which is bad.
+
+  Implementation idea:
+
+  - dwc core implements a demultiplexing irq chip for interrupts per
+    endpoint. The interrupt numbers are allocated during probe and belong
+    to the device. If MSI provides per-endpoint interrupt this dummy
+    interrupt chip can be replaced with "real" interrupts.
+  - interrupts are requested / allocated on usb_ep_enable() and removed on
+    usb_ep_disable(). Worst case are 32 interrupts, the lower limit is two
+    for ep0/1.
+  - dwc3_send_gadget_ep_cmd() will sleep in wait_for_completion_timeout()
+    until the command completes.
+  - the interrupt handler is split into the following pieces:
+
+    - primary handler of the device
+      goes through every event and calls generic_handle_irq() for event
+      it. On return from generic_handle_irq() in acknowledges the event
+      counter so interrupt goes away (eventually).
+
+    - threaded handler of the device
+      none
+
+    - primary handler of the EP-interrupt
+      reads the event and tries to process it. Everything that requires
+      sleeping is handed over to the Thread. The event is saved in an
+      per-endpoint data-structure.
+      We probably have to pay attention not to process events once we
+      handed something to thread so we don't process event X prio Y
+      where X > Y.
+
+    - threaded handler of the EP-interrupt
+      handles the remaining EP work which might sleep such as waiting
+      for command completion.
+
+  Latency:
+
+   There should be no increase in latency since the interrupt-thread has a
+   high priority and will be run before an average task in user land
+   (except the user changed priorities).
