err5 is correct there, that failure path starts to clean up what dwc3_core_init did.

I don't know anything about that platform and following this thread is a bit hard
for me since I lack context so this is a total guess: dwc3_core_init brings up the
PHYs and also soft resets the core. Could any of these two things interact with your
extcon and somehow break it?
