I'm not sure I follow. Your patch has been merged and after that some kind of
merge conflict was resolved by an additional change. To revert your stuff
cleanly we need to revert the merge update patch first. That's why revert is a
series of patches and not a single one. I have no idea how above mentioned
commit at all related to all this.

Can you elaborate more, please?

But what I did was bisect between 5.18.0 (good) and 5.19.0 (bad) then when I got near the culprit (~20 remaining) based on the commit message I tried 0f01017191384e3962fa31520a9fd9846c3d352f "usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG -> peripheral if extcon is present" (bad) and commit before that (good).

Ferry, can you try that (but I believe it won't help anyway, because I don't
see how we handle deferred probe).

But it's not true as proved by the experiment. So with your patch it doesn't
work anymore, so the logic _is_ changed.

The merge fix removes deferred probe by some reason.
