Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] phy: tegra: xusb: Fix USB2 port regulator disable
 logic

The USB2 PHY mode handling on Tegra210 incorrectly relied on
regulator_is_enabled() when determining whether the VBUS supply should
be disabled during role changes. This is because regulator_is_enabled()
reports exactly what is states and not if there is an unbalanced number
of calls between regulator_enable() and regulator_disable(). For
example, regulator_is_enabled() always reports true on a fixed-regulator
with no enable gpio, which is the case on the Pixel C.

This then leads to the PHY driver wrongfully calling regulator_disable()
when transitioning from USB_ROLE_DEVICE to USB_ROLE_NONE since the driver
did not previously call the corresponding regulator_enable().

Fix this by keeping track of the current role and updating the logic to
disable the regulator only when the previous role was USB_ROLE_HOST.
