Hi Frieder

As Philippe is about to go on his well-deserved vacation he asked my to help answering your questions. As I was
also involved in the initial analysis of this issue I am happy to help.

It's actually the ID pin we are talking about. VBUS is connected just fine.

Does your hardware also NOT connect the ID pin (sorry, Philippe initially confused it with the VBUS pin)?

BTW: According to a lengthy discussion under NDA with NXP the ID pin would need connecting even for host only
operation but our current PCB does really not allow for this to be easily done even just for verifying NXP's
claim.

I read that and doing some more testing I just realised that detection does indeed not seem to work on usbotg1
neither, even though that one has the ID pin connected just fine! So it indeed seems to be a more generic
issue.

Okay, for me Li's patch actually fixed that detection issue on usbotg1. Yeah! That is on one of our carrier
boards either Dahlia or the Verdin development board where usbotg1 goes to a regular fully OTG resp.
device/host-switchable USB-C port (with ID and VBUS pins being connected). usbotg2 connects to an always
connected USB hub, so no detection issues ever there as that hub handles it just fine.

Now the issue Philippe's patch addresses is on a different custom carrier board where usbotg1 is a device-only
micro-USB port while usbotg2 is a regular USB-A host-only port. There, unfortunately, Li's patch does not fix
the issue. However, as stated above, according to NXP that ID pin would really need to be connected. So
basically this patch here from Philippe addresses an issue with our broken hardware to make detection work
regardless (by basically indirectly disabling auto-suspend).

No, as mentioned above, our Dahlia and Verdin development board have a regular fully OTG resp. device/host-
switchable USB-C port. While that custom carrier board has a device only micro-USB port.

I believe this might be a separate issue recently also reported to us by a customer. However, most likely that
is/was on downstream and maybe even on a different i.MX 8 series based module, not quite sure. Let me check...

Anyway, for us on that custom carrier board detection does not even work in the regular case with usbotg1 being
available (albeit micro-USB device-mode only). Unfortunately, we don't have any carrier board where the full
range of USB tests could easily be conducted.

Thank you!
