I'm sorry for lacking my explanation. My idea is:
- To enable host mode, add the USBH driver somehow.
-- JFYI. renesas_usb3.c calls device_attach() for it now.
- To disable host mode, remove the USBH driver somehow.
-- JFYI. renesas_usb3.c calls device_release_driver() for it now.

So, I assume readding device_attach() for host can run the hub event work queue again.
