No, I mean we need to figure out why things can be called in
unbalanced way. With your patch I end up with unbalanced calls
leaving the phy on after all the modules have been removed :)

We should use phy power_off/power_on for the USB related parts.
The parts needed by other components, like VBUS detection, should
be handled by PM runtime. We should get phy-twl4030-usb and the
charger driver working also when no musb modules are loaded.

Yes that's what the USB driver is expected to do. But obviously
there are issues remaining also in the phy-twl4030-usb.c driver.
And it seems that we should have some OTG parts always enabled
when VBUS is detected when twl4030-charger is configured?

Certainly that needs to be fixed, but let's do it in a way where
things work for other test cases also. Care to describe how to
to reproduce the issue you're seeing? It seems that you are
seeing devices not being enmerated leading to the charger not
working? Is this with built in MUSB and phy modules?

Regrds,
