Subject: [BUG] USB (EHCI/OHCI) broken on Allwinner SoCs

Hi everyone,

USB EHCI/OHCI hosts are broken on Allwinner SoCs on v5.1-rc1. I believe
this is partially triggered by commit b97a31348379 ("usb: core: comply
to PHY framework"), and partially due to how the Allwinner USB PHY
driver handles phy_set_mode for non-OTG PHYs. Note this is not from a
bisect.

The following changes fix this.

Hunk 1 makes our PHY driver accept PHY_MODE_USB_HOST for the non-OTG
PHYs as a no-op.

Hunk 2 makes the USB core call phy_set_mode with PHY_MODE_USB_HOST
instead of PHY_MODE_USB_HOST_SS. Not sure why PHY_MODE_USB_HOST_SS was
used here, but I believe only a small set of hardware actually support
SuperSpeed, so it might be better to use the more encompasing
PHY_MODE_USB_HOST. That or the core code would have to check which speed
class the port is for and pass in the appropriate mode. The Allwinner
PHYs do not support SuperSpeed.

If the two changes make sense I'll send them out as actual patches.
