However, the kernel could. Either way, configuring the controller in device mode is enough to make the host detect it, otherwise tegrarcm wouldn't work. From the point of view of the binding I think "otg" is the most accurate option because we know that the controller can operate in both modes. If it currently doesn't or how exactly switching modes is done is outside the scope of this property. Is everyone okay with just dropping this patch? Thierry
