I would mention that robher and jstulz do play with upstream kernel +
AOSP.. so I guess some people would care about device mode regressions
as well, even though host mode is sufficient for me.  So I still lean
towards reverting this change for now, and trying again when the mux
issues are sorted completely.  (I can re-send this revert w/ SoB that
I forgot if needed.)
