After having slept on this, I am realizing that the "correct" thing to 
do here is highly hardware dependent. If you look at musb_probe() in 
musb_core.c, you will see the true purpose of musb->port_mode. In host 
mode, it only sets up a host device, in peripheral mode, it only sets up 
a peripheral device and in otg mode, it sets up both.

So really, this musb->port_mode setting does not say anything about what 
the hardware is actually capable of. It is just telling which devices 
you want registered in the kernel. (As a side note, this means that the 
dr_mode property is really not appropriate for device tree in your other 
patch series - even though many existing USB devices use dr_mode anyway).

The CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_* options are to work around hardware deficiencies. 
They are only needed when a port is missing the required external 
circuitry to function correctly. I think it is wrong to assume that if 
someone selects a specific musb->port_mode then they need to enable one 
of CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_FORCE_*.

If the port has the proper circuitry for OTG, then one should be able to 
select any of host, peripheral or otg mode without needing to set any of 
CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_FORCE_*.

So, I think if we want to be able to use CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_FORCE_* for 
special cases, then we need to add a module parameter (or this might fit 
in device tree if we can figure out how to express it as "describing the 
hardware"). The parameter will basically say "override PHY VBUS/ID in 
host mode if and only if this parameter is enabled". We could also have 
a parameter for peripheral mode that says "override PHY VBUS/ID in 
peripheral mode if and only if this parameter is enabled".

As an example, on LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, the USB port is wired for 
peripheral only. There is nothing connected to the VBUSDRV or ID pins. 
Furthermore, the VBUS pin is only connected to the USB jack and there is 
not a way to generate VBUS power. So, we can set musb->port_mode = 
MUSB_PORT_MODE_GADGET and everything will work as expected as long as we 
don't set CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_FORCE_PERIPHERAL. Overriding the PHY breaks 
VBUS sense and we never get back to b_idle after a device disconnect. 
(In fact, the only time one would ever need to set 
CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_FORCE_PERIPHERAL is if the VBUS pin is not connected at 
all and/or the ID pin is hardwired to ground).

If we want to be crazy though and be able to switch between host and 
peripheral mode anyway, even though the required circuits are missing, 
we can set  musb->port_mode = MUSB_PORT_MODE_OTG. Then we can write 
"host" to the "mode" sysfs attribute to force the port into host mode. 
However, in order for this to work, it requires that 
CFGCHIP2_OTGMODE_FORCE_HOST is set because of the missing circuitry for 
host mode. You have to supply your own external VBUS, but it does work.

TL;DR

I think you fill find that if we remove the da8xx_musb_set_mode() 
callback completely, that both host and peripheral mode will work for 
you. Overriding the PHY is only needed for unusual cases, like my 
example where we are forcing host mode when the required circuitry is 
missing.
