OK, it is not so simple.

EHCI and companion port handoff is really meant to be software transparent.

non-PCI devices really don't have knowledge of which OHCI instance is companion to the EHCI.
With device tree we could provide this mapping but for non-device tree case we can't do
anything.

So my suggestion would be to keep dual role implementation limited to one instance for
EHCI + companion case for non-DT.
For PCI case I don't see how dual role can be implemented. I don't think we have any
dual-role PCI cards.
For DT case we could have a DT binding to tie the EHCI and companion and use that
in the OTG framework.

Any objections?

cheers,
