Sorry, I meant that the max3355 device does not directly provide vbus signals
suitable for input as a gpio. Though as it provides the vbus signal to the usb
connector, there is no reason this can't be used as a gpio input to rcar (just
a level shifter needed ala the Koelsch board).

My comments were based on the view that vbus output from the max3355
device wasn't a signal that could be input to the rcar via gpio. Since it is, I agree
that we should use that!

Then how is the PHY going to know when to switch between pci0 (host) and
hsusb (function)?

Right, so the max3355 driver needs some changes to include vbus handling.
Are you working on this, or should I take it on?

Yes, I need to spend some time reading that list!
