Also note that if you are adding a new ABI like this one, it needs to
work the same for the other existing OTG drivers as well.  So please
also work to fix them to do the same thing, or change your code to work
like the existing drivers do (hint, do the latter one...)

Would it make much sense to have the host code in the tree at this point
in time due to the other changes you are going to have to do for the
gadget controller?
