The idea is for dual-role setups to used the MUSB in gadget mode and the EHCI/OHCI
pair when in host mode. So for otg setups you would runtime change the mux
from one controller to the other based on the id pin value.

Take a look at drivers/phy/phy-sun4i-usb.c, around line 512:

	if (id_det != data->id_det) {
		...
	}

This deals with id_det changes (including the initial id_det "change"
for hardwired host-only ports). This currently assumes that the musb
will be used for host mode too, we will want to change this to
something like this:

	if (id_det != data->id_det) {
		if (data->cfg->separate_phy0_host_controller) {
			if (id_det) {
				/* Change to gadget mode (id_det == 1), switch phy mux to musb */
				actual code to switch phy mux to musb...
			} else {
				/* Change to host mode (id_det == 0), switch phy mux to ehci/ohci */
				actual code to switch phy mux to ehci/ohci...
			}
		}
		/* old code */
	}

Note this will then still rely on the musb code to actually turn
the regulator on, so you do need to have the musb driver build and
loaded. This can be fixed but lets start with the above.

If you combine this with dr_mode = "host"; in the dts, then
sun4i_usb_phy0_get_id_det() will return 0 so on its first run
sun4i_usb_phy0_id_vbus_det_scan() will throw the mux to the ehci/ohci
and everything should work as you want without needing the custom
"allwinner,otg-routed" property, and we should be more or less
ready to support full otg on other boards.

Regards,

Hans
