Ok so this controller has no specific detection of VBUS, in fact the
eval board has it unwired. (It's meant to be a BMC with a permanent
connection to the host). I can control the "connection" to the host via
a register, so I've plumbed that into my pullup() callback, I assume
that's the right thing to do at this stage.

Ah I had missed some of those explanations for some reason, thanks :-)
I'll leave the virtual hub aside for now until I have "single device"
mode working.
Once I resume work on this, the "interesting" bit will be how to
allocate the 15 "generic" endpoints to the 5 devices. I'm thinking of a
rather static layout, possibly via the device-tree. That or I'll add a
custom configfs interface to the UDC driver...
Cheers,
Ben.
