Do you mean the usb_notifier_list defined in usb/core/notify.c?

I think usb_notifier_list may not be the best one for below reasons:
# usb_notifier_list is used for USB devices or USB bus being added or removed. It seems for USB host case.
But the otg_notify_event function is defined as an unified interface for both USB host side and USB peripheral (gadget/udc) side.

# usb_notifier_list is blocking_notifier and may not be time effective, not only OTG 1.3 but also OTG 2.0, there are a lot of timing requirement per spec.
For some case, we need the event notification happened asap. So I add an unified interface here and then let each otg implementation to bind its actual handler for these events.

# usb_notifier_list is now used by wusb/mon/usbdev/usbfs, but I think none of them really needs OTG events from the notifier.

Please let me know if more comments. Thanks.
