On the hw side, for AM335x MUSB controller to work in host mode, the
ID pin has to be grounded directly or via a resister which is less
than 10 Ohms.

So, for dr_mode = host, the ID pin is normally grounded directly on
the board; for dr_mode = org, a micro-A cable should be used to ensure
the ID pin is properly grounded.
