Plus, documentation for this is nowhere to be seen:

pavel@amd:/data/l/linux-n900$ grep -ri musb Documentation/ABI/
pavel@amd:/data/l/linux-n900$

..which is a shame, because it is not really clear how to use this
one:

root@n900:/sys/devices/platform/68000000.ocp/480ab000.usb_otg_hs/musb-hdrc.0.auto#
cat mode
b_idle

Hi!

I remember that this file is used for switching between usb peripheral 
and host mode. But because n900 HW somehow broken, for usb host mode are 
needed couple of "hack" patches which workaround HW bugs... This is 
still not enough and "support" from userspace is needed for it too.

Kernel patches are part of Maemo kernel-power 2.6.28 version and with 
package usbmode http://maemo.org/packages/view/usbmode/ is it possible 
to enter usb host mode on n900 (and then connect e.g. usb stick).

And IIRC correct command is:

# echo host > mode
# echo peripheral > mode

that is a shame indeed. It is part of the driver since TUSB support was
merged via commit 550a7375f ("USB: Add MUSB and TUSB support") about 7
years ago.
The parameter expects the timeout values which is used to poll the port
for mode changes (host/device mode) since it can not be detected on its
own.
Felipe knows best if it is better to document it or remove it. I can't
remember that I needed it on am335x.

N900's usersland relies on it, IIRC. But it could be that it was used
just for testing. I'm not entirely sure.
