Actually primary_hcd's not having a shared HCD have hcd->primary_hcd as NULL
and those having a shared HCD do have it pointing to the primary hcd.

So you suggest we allow a NULL pointer dereference here?

Well I only had the opportunity to work with dwc3 so I had to ensure
the design worked with it.

Where is the code? I'd like to test dual-role on TI platforms.

Not a problem if we have the constraint that usb_otg_sync_inputs()
needs to be called in thread context only.

I agree with you here. I'll get rid of the custom_otg_work.

I'm considering the worst case where OTG controller, host controller and gadget controller
are 3 independent entities which can get probed in any order.

OTG controller driver doesn't really know when host and gadget register.
All it cares about is getting the hardware events and kicking the OTG machine.

(NOTE: when I say OTG controller it might as well be just the dual-role bits
that handle the ID and VBUS interrupts).

usb_otg_start_fsm() is not public.
usb_otg_sync_inputs() is the public function that the OTG driver will use.
