Dual-Role switch with single input

Hi Peter,

I am currently trying to come up with a upstreamable solution for USB
device/host switch for our NXP i.MX 7 CoM (Colibri iMX7). My colleague
Sanchayan already posted on the mailing list in a earlier attempt for
our Colibri VFxx modules (NXP Vybrid):
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg140810.html

The situation is very similar: The device is not OTG capable, but just
allows to use a Micro-USB connector as Host when using a OTG cable. VBUS
is enabled in hardware depending on ID-Pin. We have a single 3.3V input
to the module "usbc_det". Back then your advice was to wait for the DCD
framework, however, reading up on the mailing list discussion it seems
that this did not make it mainline in a form it would be easily usable
with the Chipidea IP:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9172269/

Downstream we currently use a custom "state machine" which directly
calls ci_role_stop/start and usb_gadget_vbus_(dis)connect:
http://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/drivers/usb/chipidea/core.c?h=toradex_4.1-2.0.x-imx-next&id=1f43d373946ee34ce0cfeb667a9aa48d6995bfea

I tried to use the Chipidea OTG FSM and extcon. The device tree bindings
state:
> - extcon: phandles to external connector devices. First phandle should point to
>   external connector, which provide "USB" cable events, the second should point
>   to external connector device, which provide "USB-HOST" cable events. If one
>   of the external connector devices is not required, empty <0> phandle should
>   be specified.

It sounds like any of the two extcon are optional, also in
drivers/usb/chipidea/core.c a comment notes: "Each one of them is not
mandatory"

On Colibri iMX7 the usbc_det is also connected to USB_OTG1_VBUS, and it
leads to a proper B Session Valid in OTGSC registers.

So I tried specifying ID only (since VBUS is switched in hardware and
can be detected through B Session Valid), but this seems not to be stuck
in the OTG FSM (with an additional debug print in ci_otg_fsm_event):
[  264.327871] ci_otg_fsm_irq
[  264.333153] ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: ci_otg_fsm_event a_wait_vrise
[  264.347984] ci_cable_notifier, event 0
[  264.354329] ci_otg_fsm_irq
[  265.360930] ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: remove, state 4
[  265.367862] usb usb1: USB disconnect, device number 1
[  265.380912] ci_hdrc ci_hdrc.0: USB bus 1 deregistered

It seems to me that the CI OTG FSM is too complex for what I am trying
to achieve. Any advice how I should go about it?
