No, Shawn. The solution of this problem is drop CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM, I
guess Denis added it wrongly.

According to Embedded Hosts & OTG spec, OTG devices and Embedded Hosts
both have Targeted Host functionality, and each Targeted Host has
its TPL (Targeted Peripheral List), only the devices are at TPL
are supported by Targeted Host.

Current Linux TPL only contains limited devices, each Targeted Host
needs to update its TPL when it makes product, (The comments at
otg_whitelist.h also mention it), and the devices are not at TPL
will not be supported, and will report to user as "an unsupported
device" error, at current Linux configuration, once the CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM
and CONFIG_USB_OTG are chosen, the host will be Targeted Host.

The reason why Shawn met this problem is: the imx_v6_v7_defconfig set 
CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM, so the CONFIG_USB_OTG and CONFIG_USB_OTG_WHITELIST
are set according to dependency, it makes imx6 device as Targeted Host,
but the devices connected at Shawn's board are not at TPL, so they are
not be supported.

In a word the CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM should not be chosen for
defauly kernel configuration. The CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM should only be chosen
by default when this device goes to make product and the TPL is updated
accordingly.
