I don't see the need for it, but here it is:

------------
beagle linux # grep -i MUSB .config
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_HDRC=m
# CONFIG_USB_MUSB_TUSB6010 is not set
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_OMAP2PLUS=y
# CONFIG_USB_MUSB_AM35X is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MUSB_HOST is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MUSB_PERIPHERAL is not set
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_OTG=y
CONFIG_USB_GADGET_MUSB_HDRC=y
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_HDRC_HCD=y
# CONFIG_MUSB_PIO_ONLY is not set
CONFIG_USB_MUSB_DEBUG=y
beagle linux # modprobe musb_hdrc
FATAL: Error inserting musb_hdrc 
(/lib/modules/2.6.38-beagleboard-00002-g0017ea0-dirty/kernel/drivers/usb/musb/musb_hdrc.ko): 
No such device
beagle linux # tail -n 1 /var/log/messages
Mar 16 10:37:51 beagle kernel: [  177.302825] musb-hdrc: version 6.0, 
musb-dma, otg (peripheral+host), debug=5
beagle linux # ls /sys/devices/platform/ | grep musb
musb-omap2430
------------

The problem in detail:

Through modprobe musb_core.c:musb_init() is called, and this calls 
platform_driver_probe() with a pointer to a struct of platform_device 
where the name is musb-hdrc. 
drivers/base/platform.c:platform_driver_probe() fails with -ENODEV 
because it doesn't find a platform device with the name musb-hdrc 
(list_empty()) which is understandable because the platform-device has 
the name musb-omap2430.
