high prio:
Can you please describe how I can test this patch?
My concern is that previously I have tested your patch with ACTIVE_LOW
and ACTIVE_HIGH polarity.
In both cases USB is working and I cannot observe any change (apart
from this debug message being gone).

In the Odroid-C1 schematics (page 1) GPIOAO.BIT5 is connected to USB_OTG *only*.
I cannot give my Acked-/Reviewed-/Tested-by without a description of
how I can actually test the GPIO potion of this patch.

low prio:
Even though it's strictly not necessary I think this is confusing to read.
Since there's no "enable-active-high" property the GPIO will be
considered as "active low".
My suggestion is to change GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH to GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW

Also if you have any extra information since you last pinged me on IRC
then it would be great if you could document it.
I am referring to these IRC message, where you are stating that the
correct polarity should be "active high":

medium priority:
I have raised the following concern in one of my previous emails on this topic:

you replied with:
> OK, thanks.
so I don't understand what "OK, thanks" means.
If it means "Martin, you are wrong" then please provide a description
so I can also learn something!


Best regards,
