Oh, I thought TWL4030 does the USB stuff somewhat transparently
so the checks in twl4030_charger_check_vbus() would be enough.
Is there any TWL4030 reference manual available?

If TWL4030 just draws the VBUS directly, then it might be a good
idea to integrate the driver with OTG framework, as an example
see

    pda_power: Add optional OTG transceiver and voltage regulator support

Though, instead of just a boolean is_usb_online() stuff, you'll
have to get the allowed current draw value and configure the
charger appropriately.

Will this work?
