but plat->init_type seems to change during runtime (by
usb_setup_ehci_gadget()) and with this patch applied, it doesn't
do that anymore.

I'd start by seeing if/when usb_setup_ehci_gadget() is called and
see if plat->init_type changes. If its not called, is it dead code
then?
Sorry I just noticed this, while reviewing how this particular driver
works, because I still like to find a working OTG driver in u-boot.
I don't have any imx boards.
