These differences are small. In general we have three cases:

1. We have both VBUS and ID pin detection - we can detect USB, USB-HOST
and cable disconnection.

2. We have only VBUS detection - we can detect USB and cable disconnection.

3. We have ID pin only - we can distinguish between USB and USB-HOST but
without ability to detect cable disconnection.

So my driver in current form is ready for that. Only thing it would need
to change is to make VBUS detection an option (for now is mandatory
because all of supported Odroid boards have it). Then boards with VBUS
detection only or ID pin detection only will be handled also. I can also
change name of the driver to more generic. I'm going to prepare V2 on my
patches today.
