I don't think the driver supports the dr_mode property yet. Patch is
welcome.

The DWC2 driver tests the value of the OTG ID pin, so if you don't use
OTG cable with correct ID pin setup, the host won't work.

Can you do "dcache off" before you do "usb reset" and see if that fixes
the problem ?

Yeah, I CCed you on the DDR patches, so you can reply with your
Tested-By for SoCkit and Nano-SoC. Thanks
