Michael,

It appears that the usb_setup_ehci_gadget() forces the USB driver into
peripheral mode regardless
of the device tree and/or the state of the register that detects the
pin, so I'm going to submit a V3 that keeps the helper function.
The helper function will not read the register to determine the
host/peripheral mode.  Instead, it will return UNKNOWN if the
device tree does not explicitly state the dr_mode.

If the device type is UNKNOWN, then the probe will call
ehci_usb_phy_mode after the clocks are started which will query
the register for the IP block to determine the state.  This way, we
don't break some of the functionality for forcing
peripheral mode if we intentionally activate a peripheral.

Tim & Fabio,

Would you mind re-testing?  I'm going to drop the added tags on the V3
because there is enough changes here and a small change
in behavior that I think it warrants re-test and/or re-review.
