In the OTG/dual role scope VBUS regulator handling has to be done via the OTG driver using the otg ops otg_drv_vbus() and not at HCD level. Do you agree? I don't want to complicate the OTG to HCD interface by adding new hooks there. If HCD driver wants to do something special for OTG case it can always do that within the struct hc_driver interface. But ideally OTG specific handling must be done in the OTG driver. All that the HCD driver should care about is making sure all used resources are disabled once usb_remove_hcd() is called. cheers, -roger
