Ah, interesting.  I just assumed that since you could compile both in
that dual mode was there, but I clearly was confused.

I don't think Kever had tested dual_role mode.

I hadn't personally seen it, but now I have!  I guess this is the
newest <https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg46103.html>.

I haven't done a thorough review, but I think Kever's patch v4
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4682711/> is still relevant since
I don't see anything parsing the dr_mode in Dinh's patches.
