Testing looks good when I use the gpio-mux binding. The only thing I
noticed is that gpio-mux driver is requesting the gpio with
GPIOD_OUT_LOW. Is that intentional? I worry that may randomly mux the
D+/D- lines during probe if the gpio is asserted at probe time. It isn't
a problem for me right now, because the mux is power on defaulted to
have the gpio deasserted, but it may be a problem if the default
changes.
