Re: [linux-sunxi] [PATCH v3 0/5] Add dual-role OTG support for Allwinner H3

From: OndÅej Jirman

Hi Icenowy,

when I was trying to add OTG support I found an issue with powercycling.
When I have USB cable connecting PC and the OTG port on the SBC, when
the board enables the vbus, it would become impossible to power cycle
the board after poweroff. The reason being that when vbus is enabled,
the board is powered from the OTG port even if you disconnect the barrel
plug.

Should kernel turn off the vbus before shutting down/restarting? What do
you think?

regards,
o.
