FWIW, here is the section from the DWC2 databook that describes how a
disconnect should be handled for the device:

When OTG_MODE is set to 0, 1, or 3, the device disconnect flow is as
follows:
	1. When the USB cable is unplugged or when the VBUS is switched
	   off by the Host, the Device core triggers GINTSTS.OTGInt
	   [bit 2] interrupt bit.
	2. When the device application detects GINTSTS.OTGInt interrupt,
	   it checks that the GOTGINT.SesEndDet (Session End Detected)
	   bit is set to 1'b1.

When OTG_MODE is set to 2 or 4, the device disconnect flow is as
follows:
	1. When the USB cable is unplugged or when the VBUS is switched
	   off by the Host, the Device core triggers GINTSTS.USBRst
	   [bit 12] interrupt bit.
	2. When the device application detects GINTSTS.USBRst, the
	   application sets a timeout check for SET ADDRESS Control Xfer
	   from Host.
	3. If application does not receive SET ADDRESS Control Xfer from
	   Host before the timeout period, it is treated as a device
	   disconnection.

OTG_MODE is a configuration parameter that is set when the core is
built. From this discussion, it sounds like the s3c-hsotg core is
built for either mode 2 or 4. So SET ADDRESS should be involved, but
not in the way the driver is currently doing it.

Unfortunately I don't have the s3c-hsotg hardware, so I can't work on this
myself.
