Since commit 0f0101719138 ("usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG -> peripheral if extcon is present") Dual Role support on Intel Merrifield platform broke due to rearranging the call to dwc3_get_extcon(). 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. On Intel Merrifield the issue is reproducible but difficult to find the root cause. Using an ordinary kernel and rootfs with buildroot ulpi_read_id() succeeds. As soon as adding ftrace / bootconfig to find out why, ulpi_read_id() fails and we can't analyze the flow. Using another rootfs ulpi_read_id() fails even without adding ftrace. Appearantly the issue is some kind of timing / race, but merely retrying ulpi_read_id() does not resolve the issue. This patch makes ulpi_read_id() return -ETIMEDOUT to its user if the first test write fails. The user should then handle it appropriately. A follow up patch will make dwc3_core_init() set -EPROBE_DEFER in this case and bail out.
