[PATCH linux dev-6.6 1/3] usb: Add base USB MCTP definitions

From: Jeremy Kerr <jk at codeconstruct.com.au>

Upcoming changes will add a USB host (and later gadget) driver for the
MCTP-over-USB protocol. Add a header that provides common definitions
for protocol support: the packet header format and a few framing
definitions. Add a define for the MCTP class code, as per
https://usb.org/defined-class-codes.
