Hmm, strange. Unplug/replug of the USB cable results in:

<6>usb 1-5: new high-speed USB device number 100 using ehci-pci
<3>usb 1-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
tail: /proc/kmsg: file truncated
<3>usb 1-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
<3>usb 1-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32
<3>usb 1-5: device descriptor read/8, error -32
<3>usb 1-5: device descriptor read/8, error -32
<6>usb 1-5: new high-speed USB device number 103 using ehci-pci

<3>usb 1-5: device descriptor read/8, error -32
<3>usb usb1-port5: unable to enumerate USB device
<6>usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 80 using uhci_hcd
<3>usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
<3>usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
<6>usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 81 using uhci_hcd
<3>usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
<3>usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
<3>usb usb4-port1: unable to enumerate USB device

echo connect does not seem to do the trick, either:

root at n900:~# echo connect >
/sys/devices/platform/68000000.ocp/480ab000.usb_otg_hs/musb-hdrc.0.auto/udc/musb-hdrc.0.auto/soft_connect
-bash: echo: write error: Operation not supported
root at n900:~# uname -a
Linux n900 4.4.0-omap3-149558-g5cf5ee5-dirty #168 PREEMPT Tue Mar 29

Hmm, documentation is not too helpful, either...

What:           /sys/class/udc/<udc>/soft_connect
Date:           June 2011
KernelVersion:  3.1
Contact:        Felipe Balbi <balbi at kernel.org>
Description:
		Allows users to disconnect data pullup resistors thus
		causing a
 		logical disconnection from the USB
 		Host.

Dmesg says:

[  619.471374] udc musb-hdrc.0.auto: soft-connect without a gadget
driver

Any ideas?
