For some devices like cameras the system needs to know where they are
mounted.

ACPI has a property for this purpose, which is parsed by
acpi_get_physical_device_location():
https://uefi.org/htmlspecs/ACPI_Spec_6_4_html/06_Device_Configuration/Device_Configuration.html#pld-physical-location-of-device

In DT we have similar property for video-interface-devices called
orientation, but it is limited to the requirements of video devices:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interface-devices.yaml

Add a new property for usb-devices that matches the behavior of
ACPI's _PLD.

Userspace needs that information to correctly show it in the UI. Eg;

- User facing camera needs to be mirrored during preview.
- The user facing camera is selected by default during videoconferences
- The world facing camera is selected by default when taking a photo
- User facing camera have different parameter defaults than world facing.

Right now, the only camera driver that expose the ACPI location
information is the IPU from intel
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/media/pci/intel/ipu-bridge.c#n258

And they are only using the panel.

If we need more information we can consider adding more parameters in
the future.
