We use both hardware role switch and /sys entries for manually forcing
a certain role.

We do not set any "usb-role-switch" property at DTS.

Currently cdns->role_sw is being always set by driver irrespective of
any DT property, so this patch is clearly wrong and needs to be reverted.

What do you think?
