Hi,

Yes, that matches the datasheet I've read.

If the host is attached after the driver was initialised, the
interrupt will trigger and the driver will get notified that VBUS
appeared and everything will go smooth, at least that's how it should
work (I do not have any board handy to real-life check that, but
AFAICT that's the intent of the current code).

I actually do not have any iMX demoboards at all, I've only got some
custom-designed i.MX25 boards where I can't control VBUS, it's
permanently pulled up.

But I was fixing the problem that was clearly, 100% reproducibly
happening when VBUS was applied before the interrupt was
configured. So what exactly do you mean here? Do you mean this check
I've added doesn't fix the bug? Or do you mean this bug should be
fixed somehow else? Or do you mean there's no bug in the first place
and my board doesn't work because of something else?
