adding the configuration should be enough - Neil did a good job with
the actual driver code (it's working fine for me :))

I am assuming you are testing on the MXIII Plus [0]:
the S812 SoC (just like all other Amlogic SoCs) comes with two USB controllers:
- one for the OTG port
- a second one which only acts in host mode -> this is typically
connected to an internal hub (often through a GL852 USB hub
controller) which then provides more than one port

I had a quick look at the .dts files - on my Akaso M8S GPIOZ_1 is not
connected anywhere (at least toggling the GPIO doesn't change anything
in terms of USB VBUS signal).
however, your board has: gpio-vbus-power = "GPIOZ_1";
it's very likely that the GL852 hub is powered off by default and is
powered on by enabling GPIOZ_1
but since my .dts is not enabling GPIOZ_1 the hub stays powered off
and USB is not working for you
(in other words: this will require additional changes in the .dts to
make it work)
