Thanks for your comments, Peter!
>From the Android code that I see, it seems that for a charger
connect/disconnect, some systems might require some time to react to
the change in power, and hence there's a timed-out wakeup event for
USB charger cases. That;s where the consideration for USB chargers
came from.

I think I misunderstood your comment here - do you mean for 'no vbus
case (like chipidea)' do a noop for wakeup source? In the gadget
framework, there doesn't seem to be a way to get to know if a USB
charger is connected.
