Yes, indeed for now the s3c-hsotg supports the device mode.

But as you wrote, first the driver needs to be made a platform
independent (the IP core common part), then vendor (e.g. Samsung/others)
dependent part shall be added.

I'm quite fresh on the linux-usb mailing list, but I've seen several
attempts to make the dw_otg (dwc2) driver mainline acceptable (v15 of
Synopsys DWC OTG) with no success.

I think, that starting from the device mode is good for beginning. Other
use cases can be added later, after some discussion on the device mode
implementation (Yes, architecturally the driver will be prepared for
OTG extension).

As a side note, I can test the driver with Samsung devices, but I will
need some testing help with other SoC vendors.

And finally, I will work on the s3c-hsotg driver to became the dw2
mainline kernel driver.
