Good idea ... but not OTG-specific. It doesn't seem to me

that charging hookups belong in that header at all.
I noticed that when started actually using it :-)
In fact, usb_gadget_vbus_draw() might better be implemented
as such a notifier call, removing that configuration mess
from the usb gadget drivers ("how can I know what charger
to use??"). That would be the most common situation: a
peripheral-only device.
And in fact, OTG can be treated as a trivial superset of
peripheral-only USB. (In terms of charger support, only!!)
I'd vote to convert all the USB-to-charger interfaces so
they use notifiers. After fixing the events ... see
comments below. :)
makes sense

Let's keep charger events separate from anything else,
like "enter host mode" or "enter peripheral mode" (or
even "disconnect"). The audiences for any other types
of event would be entirely different.
the idea was to notify USB events to interested drivers, not only "usb
charger events".
Right now there's a mess in terms of charger hookup,
so getting that straight is IMO a priority over any
other type of event. Using events will decouple a
bunch of drivers, and simplify driver configuration.
well, if you consider that this transceiver isn't really otg specific,
then this is already wrong.

Those seem like the wrong events. The right events for a charger
would be more along the lines of:
- For peripheral: "you may use N milliAmperes now".
- General: "Don't Charge" (a.k.a. "use 0 mA").
I have to disagree, which information would you used to kick the usb
dedicated charger detection other than VBUS irq from transceiver ?
So we need at least that, and also need to notify when the charger
detection is finished, so we can enable data pullups on the link.
Remember we might be connected to a charging downstream port.
I don't see how "N" would be passed with those events ...
there's a void * we can use to pass bMaxPower field of the selected
configuration.
Haven't looked at the details of the charger spec, but
those two events are the *basics* from the USB 2.0 spec,
so "official" charger hardware wouldn't be less capable.
I believe the dedicated charger is also "basic".
Thing like different levels of VBUS validity, ID grounding,
and so forth ... wouldn't be very relevant. An OTG driver
will do various things, internally, when ID grounds; but
anything else is a function of what role eventually gets
negotiated. And for the charger, they all add up to "Don't
Charge" (since ID grounded means A-role, sourcing power).
ID grounding event is necessary if you have an external charge pump.
At least the boards I've been working use an external chip as the USB
Charger and Charge pump, iow, the transceiver doesn't source VBUS on ID
ground, but the charger chip is put into "boost" mode for that role.

Why "blocking"? That seems kind of unnatural; for example,
the main users -- like usb_gadget_vbus_draw() -- would be
called in IRQ context (blocking not allowed).
what about irqs running in thread, wouldn't we "BUG sleeping in irq
context" ?
