I'm wondering if the requirement that the OTG controller be the parent
of the USB host/device-controllers makes sense. For some context, I'm
working on adding dual-role support for Tegra210, specifically on a
system with USB Type-C. On Tegra, the USB host-controller and USB
device-controller are two separate IP blocks (XUSB host and XUSB
device) with another, separate, IP block (XUSB padctl) for the USB PHY
and OTG support. In the non-Type-C case, your OTG framework could
work well, though it's debatable as to whether or not the XUSB padctl
device should be a parent to the XUSB host/device-controller devices
(currently it isn't - it's just a PHY provider). But in the Type-C
case, it's an off-chip embedded controller that determines the
dual-role status of the Type-C port, so the above requirement doesn't
make sense at all.

My idea was to have the OTG/DRD controller explicitly specify its host
and device controllers, so in DT, something like:

otg-controller {
...
device-controller = <&usb_device>;
host-controller = <&usb_host>;
...
};

usb_device: usb-device@.... {
...
};

usb_host: usb-host@... {
...
};

What do you think?

Thanks,
Andrew
