I discovered a few months ago that setting this pin high after USB
connect has NO effect on iinlim. It has to be high at connect to
auto-negotiate 500mA. There is no point in making the driver control
this pin; we already tried that.

Here we are just documenting how the DT can enable this pin via gpio-hog.

I believe the only way to defer 500mA negotiation is to leave this pin
off and set iinlim via I2C msg to chip. We can do that in a gadget
script via sysfs input_current_limit. Hans does not have to enable
this pin to start OTG-host on his x86 device, perhaps because it is
wired high there. Our script can set the linked gpio high if nec for
OTG-host.
