I've just found further proof that the musb on the H3 at least
only is intended for gadget mode and that we must dynamically
switch for host-mode. If you look at:

drivers/usb/sunxi_usb/include/sunxi_udc.h

In the h3 sdk then you will see that for the H3 a different fifo
endpoint table is used, as the total fifo space is only 4k where
as previous SoCs had 8k. This means that we need to have 2
different ep tables in drivers/usb/musb/sunxi.c and select by
compatible.

Hans
