Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I need an ESPHOME device to connect to a modbus slave via USB. This requires the board to have USB hub functionality. The Raspberry Pico W can do this, but requires the code to set dr_mode=host.
this is not yet implemented by in esphome for RP2040 boards.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
ability to set dp_mode to host for the USB connection on the board
**Additional context**

Research direction
Start by resolving whether the request targets ESP32-S3 or RP2040, and verify the intended USB host or hub mode and Modbus-over-USB use case from the issue. Done means ESPHome can configure the selected board's USB connection in host mode and connect to the stated Modbus slave.
