I do not wish to set the dr_mode manually, since this could break
things on devices I do not own.
Future work is needed to address the tegra_udc capabilities, as well
as fully correct the hang issue.
This patch merely aims to fix a corner case.

AFAIK reading through the comments, the chipidea driver intended to
exclusively use extcon for automatic role switching, please correct me
if I'm wrong here.
USB-C support is not a likely scenario, as currently the chipidea
driver only supports usb 2.0.

I added some traces to the driver, and it doesn't actually appear to
be a register read/write that is breaking things. (Not directly
anyways).
The hang occurs after it enumerates the usb gadgets and hub.
Still trying to track down exactly where the hang occurs.
