So these seem to be working ok.
First, the notifier call on register change:
https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/android-dev.git/commit/?h=dev/hikey960-mainline-WIP&id=1d312db9763c2449c3cf5b3383b1f33390f8ce7b
Second, the current_dr_role change for dwc3:
https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/android-dev.git/commit/?h=dev/hikey960-mainline-WIP&id=b80b536de76eb80f7df0846aa54ac22e2b4ffe4e
Feel free to fold/rework those changes into your patch set.
