Hey Linus,
  Anders recently noted a regression in -next when running HiKey,
where USB fails to function.  I took a look and could reproduce this
as well, and after some unsuccessful muddling about in the usb
changes, I bisected it down to your commit here (specifically
efdfeb079cc3 in -next).

I'm not sure exactly why this would cause trouble, but I suspect it
has something to do w/ the cable-detect OTG to host-hub switch on the
HiKey.

Anyway, I just wanted to raise this with you so it can get sorted out
before that patch hits mainline.

thanks
