Is this IP block still showing up on new devices?  It is really old, and
OTG is long dead from what I remember.  Does any real device actually
support that type of mode?

I have no objection to taking these, and I'm glad to see you maintain
them, I just don't want you to have to maintain dead code for devices
that are not around anymore.
