With an OTG cable, the usage_count would probably got to '1' because
the charger wouldn't be interested.

However the important point is that the usage_count goes to zero when

Just reporting the problem is sometimes 90% for the bug fixed.
I'm confident I know what is happening.  What isn't clear is how best
to fix it without breaking something else... I suspect Felipe can help
with that.
