Yeah, I understand. But with the current patches I wonder, isn't there
risk for short circuit ? Say that a USB host cable is connected during
boot and the PCI USB host controller is hooked up, what is stopping us
from switching the cable and driving VBUS from two sides using a USB
function cable? So the current patches seem a bit unsafe to me.

To control USB0_VBUS as GPIO you may need to adjust the PFC tables for
pinctrl. At some point, would it be possible for you to cook up some
prototype code to try to control the USB0_VBUS signal via GPIO? This
may be pointless if the USBHS hardware cannot operate in Host mode
though.

Thanks for your offer. Yes, that would be nice. May I suggest doing it
on two levels:
1) Gadget-only support (is it possible to perform runtime check of ID
pin value at insert event and give error in case of Host?)
2) Incremental USBHS host patch

Using two incremental patches like above we can begin by merging 1)
and keep on working on 2).

Please add it as a separate incremental patch if possible. I'd like to
have some kind of stable level of support without any funky
dependencies as a first goal, then keep on trying to get USBHS
working.

I think PCI USB for the micro USB port can simply be dropped now and
only use USBHS.

Thank you!
