 On some newer Allwinner SoCs (H3 or A64), the PHY0 can be either routed to
 the MUSB controller (which is an OTG controller) or the OHCI/EHCI pair
 (which is a Host-only controller, but more stable and easy to implement).

 This property marks whether on a certain board which controller should be
 attached to the PHY.

Erm, I think that the idea here is to dynamically switch the routing
based on the id-pin of the otg connector. IOW use the musb controller
for device mode, and the ehci/ohci proper for proper host support
when in host mode.

At least on some boards this implementation works...

(I mean Pine64, which has two USB-A connectors)

Right and I think it is great that you're working on this.

But even with an A connector on the board, we can still use the device
mode (e.g. the SoC's native FEL mode will be used this way).

Notice that you can fake id-pin changes by echoing a mode to:

/sys/devices/platform/soc@01c00000/1c13000.usb/musb-hdrc.1.auto/mode

Valid values to echo are: host, peripheral and otg.

If you combine this with using either an USB A<->A cable, or using
the port normally as a host you should be able to develop and test
full otg support.

Eventually we will need a full otg support rather then your current solution
and I'm afraid that your solution may get in the way of full otg support.

Regards,

Hans
