I don't know why they do that.  There not be any good reason.  You 
could try asking the PS3 platform maintainer.

Again, I don't know why.  The TILE architecture maintainer might know.

I suspect this is because the driver is trying to cope with switching
between host mode and device (peripheral) mode.  This doesn't seem like
a good way to implement OTG, but until it gets changed we'll have to
live with the driver the way it is.
