Felipe, thanks for your comments.

But you may need to consider the user option ~a_bus_req (for A) and
b_bus_req (for B) when do HNP, we can't do HNP without user option.

- Eg, if the bus enters suspend, but the A does not want role switch,
we can't try to do HNP, the same for B device.
- The A device may want to support auto-suspend but without role switch.

You are absolutely right, the SAFE HNP needs to do auto-suspend first, we
need to add this in documentation. But it does not mean OTG FSM design is
incorrect, there are two things, eg, if we want to do HNP safely, we need
to do below things:
/* B requests HNP */
echo 1 > /sys/bus/../otg_fsm//inputs/b_bus_req

/* Put the A to suspend */
echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/power/control
/* A goes to try HNP */
echo 0 > /sys/bus/../otg_fsm/inputs/a_bus_req
