I think ideally you would add an extcon device (or equivalent, e.g.
power supply) somewhere in your Type-C setup so that the VBUS state is
set correctly and does not need to be forced permanently. The chipidea
USB driver will also benefit from this because AFAICT it uses that
information to power down the USB PHY and controller entirely when
in device mode and there is no USB cable connected.

But I agree that setting up a proper extcon device can be difficult,
especially during early bring-up where you just want USB to work and
don't care much about power saving. So I still think that making USB
work without extcon (like your patch does) is a useful change.

For the implementation, I think this flag should effectively emulate the
logic that is currently used if you assign an extcon, except that the
VBUS state is permanently forced active. Right now your
qcom_usb_hs_phy_enable_dp_pullup() function kind of duplicates logic
that already exists in the driver, which already has code to set
VBUSVLDEXTSEL and VBUSVLDEXT.

qcom_usb_hs_phy_set_mode() should be modified to use the else branch (as
if vbus_edev was set), which will set VBUSVLDEXTSEL for you. Without
extcon you currently use the if (!uphy->vbus_edev) branch, which will
enable the internal VBUS detection in the PHY (the ULPI_INT_SESS_VALID
code). This does not make any sense IMO if VBUS is not connected to the
SoC.

And then you basically just need to call qcom_usb_hs_phy_vbus_notifier()
to set the VBUSVLDEXT forcefully (rather than relying on the extcon
detection).

An alternative that I've occasionally used for early bring-up is to
simply use a dummy extcon driver [1] that permanently reports active
VBUS. The end result is the same. While it's clearly a hack perhaps this
makes it a bit more clear that ideally you really should try to assign
an extcon device, to avoid keeping the USB controller and PHY on
permanently.

Thanks,
Stephan
