This is quite complex. How is this solved in mainline?

And more complexity.

Example of the code is quoted below, and we are returning EBUSY to
userspace if it tries to change role at the wrong time. Not great.

As far as I understand, the initialization on needs to be done
once. Instead of exposing /sys interfaces before hardware is ready,
and then doing complex dance when /sys is accessed, could we
initialize hardware in rcar_gen3_phy_usb2_probe or something?

Looking at the code:

        /* If current and new mode is the same, this returns the error */
        if (cur_mode == new_mode)
                return -EINVAL;

this should probably just return success? (EINVAL is certainly wrong
error code here.)

Best regards,
