Yes, seems it's capable. Upon reset, register 0x501a0 contains value 0.
Trying to print register 0x511a0 freezes U-Boot for me.

Interesting. I would have expected this to show up in MV78230 specs, but
maybe I missed the part where it clarifies these offsets to be standard
conformant.

Hmm. Searching through the relevant DT files didn't yield a result for
"dr_mode". Seems like this property is missing, maybe that's why Linux
fails here? Is this something generally user-configurable? (Note that I
don't have the slightest idea of how device mode USB works in Linux).

Thanks, Phil
