Yes, I know that USB != I2C

Still, it would be nive to have a similar concept as with J1/TOHKBD2
USB is not I2C, but indeed, in some cases it is simplier to connect a device over usb than over I2C.

Additional HW (and maybe also SW) will be needed to connect something to this extension pins.

We need to ask kimmoli and dirkvl about it...
