In TI 3.2 kernel, the otg_timer() toggles the SESSION bit in
OTG_STATE_B_IDLE state. So whenever the ID pin is grounded by
connecting a device, the controller will try go into host mode.
But I have no idea why your board is in a_idle not b_idle. The toggle
does not handle a_idle.

Do you use the AM335x GP EVM, not the smaller StarterKit EVM, right?
the USB0 port on SK EVM is device only.

But anyway, I have not seen any use case which uses micro-AB
receptacle and requires such dynamic role switching. So I kind of
think it is unnecessary to implement this feature.

And it is not easy to implement it in a right way, because AM335x does
not have an interrupt for ID pin grounding, so we can only try to set
SESSION bit in otg_timer(), but that causes 2sec VBUS pulsing on the
wire, which violates the specs.
