while adding usb support is fine, I see no reason to add smsc95xx support because contrary to harmony, paz00 does not contain an ethernet port.
Is the SMSC95xx only an internal part, or could it be present on a user-pluggable USB dongle? I wasn't sure, so I left it in.
Looking at the driver (and the Linux kernel driver and SMSC's website), it supports both the standalone USB->Ethernet 9500 chip that's likely to be in USB Ethernet dongles, and various combo USB hub + Ethernet chips that are found on motherboards (e.g. Harmony). As such, I think it's reasonable to leave this config option enabled on Paz00 and other Tegra boards even when such a chip isn't on the board itself. Do you agree?
