Should have sent this as RFC, because these are the questions I had as
well. Ideally the otg->host or otg->device transition shouldn't be
oneway, but that might open a can of worms.

Sounds good, but then you don't have a chance anymore to do something
with the device from board code.

Ok, so we need something to opt in/out from that mechanism and also
something for board code to call the role transition earlier when
needed.
