Ah so it's with the state changing devices.

Maybe the other way to fix it would be to keep VBUS on longer when
checking for connected devices. Maybe we now recheck based on the
poll_timeout too early and then nothing is found.

I wonder if the following test patch allows the mode changing
devices to been properly found? Of course it's just for testing,
and scanning for devices takes now 5 seconds.. But it might
provide clues why musb thinks no devices are connected and we
cut VBUS.
