Chipidea driver supports many ways to switch between host and device
mode. It can support switching with/without disconnecting cable.

Most of cases need to disconnect cable (Micro-AB) to switch between
host and device mode, I just take this as an example:

Using ID pin which is at Micro-B receptacle on the board to determine host (ID = 0)
or device (ID = 1 )mode.

- ID pin connects to CPU, and ID interrupt and value can be get through
register OTGSC.
- ID pin does not connect to CPU, and there is a dedicated GPIO for ID.
