Why would this be a configuration option? Shouldn't this be dynamic
and just work properly automatically?
You should not have to do this on a build-time basis, it should be
able to be detected and handled properly at run-time for all
devices.
I consulted the original author Dragan Čečavac, he think since this
is
a feature which disables overcurrent detection, so we are not sure if
it could be harmful for some devices. Therefore he advise against
enabling it in runtime, and in favor that user explicitely has to
enable it.
This could still be enabled at runtime, though, via a module parameter.
Leave it enabled by default, and those who want to disable it can do it.
Also, overcurrent detection is just "detection", so enabling or
disabling it won't change the fact that you can get overcurrent
conditions, right?

If you know this is needed for a specific type of device, detect it
and make the change then, otherwise this could break working
systems,
right?
According to the information provided by Dragan Čečavac, this
function
(select whether to enable over-current detection through the otgctl
register) don't seem to be available for all dwc2 controllers, so it
might make sense to add MACH_INGENIC dependency to
USB_DWC2_DISABLE_VOD, which could provide additional protection from
unwanted usage.
Thanks and best regards!
thanks,
