I agree with you that vbus handling should be handled by otg_drv_vbus
for OTG case.

In this patch, we set hcd->flag as 0 to fix one problem, but if any
problems are still existed due to non-zero hcd structure. We have
tested a lot for insmod/rmmod procedure for host driver, it doesn't
show many problems. In a word, once the host role is stopped do we
need to remove all things belong to host, and re-initialized all things
belong to host when the host role is re-started? From my point is 'yes'.

host_stop()
{
	usb_remove_hcd(hcd);
	usb_put_hcd(hcd);
	platform_deinit(); /* clock, gpio, etc */
}

host_start()
{
	platform_init(); /* clock, gpio, etc */
	usb_create_hcd();
	... /* initialize hcd structure from platform information */
	usb_add_hcd(hcd);
}

Maybe you have already done something, but there is no user now.
Things will be more clear after your post your dwc3 changes :)
