Are you really sure we can't get async VBUS state change notifications
until controller has USB_CMD_RUN_STOP bit set (and the same bit
actually controls internal 1.5k dataline pullup)? If yes, I guess it
means we need to check VBUS state _every_ time we set that bit to sync
the vbus_active variable with the actual hardware state (unless an
external OTG PHY is used and VBUS pad state is irrelevant)?

I'm using FSL_USB2_DR_DEVICE mode (FSL_USB2_PHY_UTMI phy_mode), so the
OTG controller should always work in the device mode only.

Yes, I hope he can understand both of us :)
