Ohh.. This driver is present in kernel since 2009.
still lot of efforts on parallel driver, only   because this driver has been
named very specific to samsung. Anyway, its good to know that a driver
exits which is already pushed in mainline.

Have looked driver drivers/usb/gadget/s3c-hsotg.c. It seems that,
this driver has support of only device. So job would be to first make
it platform independent, then to add support for "host only" and
 "otg" (hnp/srp) mode.

If we see drivers floated by apm guys (dwc_otg), then yes it is big and ugly,
but has support of all use case scenarios. With little effort its ugly
part can be
removed, but author is very slow and not ready to allow others to take
initiative.

So, may be we can discuss/evaluate effort required in both cases and once
decided all users can put consolidated effort to upgrade that decided driver.
