Well, "everything connected on the usb ports" can be confusing, because
you can connect devices (usb disk drives, keyboards, mice, etc..) and hosts
(desktop PCs, mobile computers, etc..) to the OTG port.
That's why I wanted to be sure, what devices do you connect to that port.
Now it is clear, that your port should be in the Host mode and you should _not_
issue an SRP.

"ethernet/wifi/bt/hid devs are all connected on usb" - this means,
that they are either connected to several (different) usb ports or there is a usb hub
connected to that port and those devices are connected to it.
Can you confirm how those devices are connected?

SMSC USB3319 does not have either an integrated Vbus switch or Charge Pump,
For the device connected to that transceiver could work properly,
there is a need in _external Vbus switch_ , that should be enabled using
some kind of CPEN pin (can be GPIO).
This means, that you don't even need to call ulpi_set_vbus().

Either way, this patch is NAK.
I think you need to check your hardware (in particular Vbus supply).
