Please see the kernel documentation for how to refer to commits. This

Since commit 0f0101719138 ("usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG -> peripheral if
extcon is present"), Dual role....
Thanks I'll fix that in v3.
It appears to be caused by ulpi_read_id() on the first test write failing
with -ETIMEDOUT. Currently ulpi_read_id() expects to discover the phy via
DT when the test write fails and returns 0 in that case even if DT does not
provide the phy. As a result usb probe completes without phy.

What commit does this fix?
It's complicated, not sure how to explain this clearly:
ef6a7bcfb01c ("usb: ulpi: Support device discovery via DT") started to
hide -ETIMEDOUT by returning 0. That problem was hidden due to another
problem causing dwc3 to be deferred. But not properly, causing an
infinite probe loop. This was fixed for quite some time by an out of
tree patch. Now 0f0101719138 ("usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG -> peripheral
if extcon is present") accidentally fixes the probe loop, makes the out
tree patch obsolete, but exposes the initial problem.
In short this patch fixes ef6a7bcfb01c ("usb: ulpi: Support device
discovery via DT") by returning -ETIMEDOUT to its user, who should
handle it appropriately. In case of dwc3 probe it sets -EPROBE_DEFER and
bails out.
I'll add the short fixes: in v3.
Should this also get a cc: stable?
I will add.
thanks,
