If we are A device, - Does the hardware knows if B device is HNP enabled or not? - And if B device is HNP enabled, does it can switch itself from host to peripheral when the B device is disconnected (a_suspend->a_peripheral) Does hardware can really follow Figure 7-1: OTG A-device with HNP State Diagram at On-The-Go and Embedded Host Supplement to the USB Revision 2.0 Specification?

The chipidea driver handles OTG and dual-role well currently. By considering this OTG/DRD framework is worthwhile or not, we would like to see if it can simplify DRD design for each driver, and can benefit the platforms which has different drivers for host and peripheral to finish the role switch well. - The common start/stop host and peripheral operation eg, when switch from host to peripheral, all drivers can use usb_remove_hcd to finish it. - A common workqueue to handle vbus and id event - sysfs for role switch > >> > Notice, it needs to swap role without disconnect cable. > >> > >> right, I can swap role without changing cable, but that's not OTG.
