Thank you Peter.

I think you may have misunderstood my question. The imx6 USB charger
detection block I believe is used by a upstream facing device to
detect what type of down-stream facing charger it is connected to.

My requirement is kind of the opposite.. here the imx6 will be used as
the down-stream facing charger i.e. attempt to support cdp charging
(instead of sdp) after role reveral with imx6 otg in host mode.

I know this is feasible with additional hardware such as a CDP
emulator or a USB charging port controller. I was hoping you might
have an insight on whether this is possible without any additional
hardware i.e. only with changes in USB PHY / controller.

Thanks,
Jayan John
