Kiran is unable to continue on this patch anymore, so despite my very
limited usb experience, I would like to take this over and with your
help, take it to closure.

>From what I understand, it might be possible to do this either at the
usb controller driver (where it detects if it has enumerated in host
mode or device mode) or in the extcon driver (where it detects VBUS
etc..) -  which would be a cleaner / more logical way to do it?

Thanks for all your help!
