Sorry that I was so silent while you did all the work. I have applied your 
patch and now I see a 

   [    0.020619] GPIO line 58 (enable USB2 power) hogged as output/low

when adding following node directly to the pinctrl

	enable-usb-power {
		gpio-hog;
		gpios = <58 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		output-low;
		line-name = "enable USB2 power";
	};

(this looks at the first glance like it is deactivating USB by setting it to 
low but GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW would switch the meaning of output-low for gpio-hogs 
and the GPIO must really set to signal level low to enable USB)
