Yes, USB_H1_VBUS is supplied from internal 5V and it is accurate (+/-
0.03V). The USB_H_EN signal enables USB_H1_VBUS through a MIC2026-1.

The USB_OTG_VBUS signal from the picture with 4.69V came from the host
PC and is not under our control.

I read in the ReferenceManual that the USBPHY defaults to USB_H1_VBUS if
both USB_OTG_VBUS and USB_H1_VBUS are available.
If we imagine the following situation: USB OTG cable is plugged-in, the
board is powered on, USB_OTG_VBUS is supplied externally and USBPHY uses
it because USB_H1_EN is not high yet and did not enable USB_H1_VBUS.
If the USBPHY started out being supplied by USB_OTG_VBUS and later on,
USB_H1_VBUS comes up, will the USBPHY switch to USB_H1_VBUS immediately
or stay at being supplied by USB_OTG_VBUS as long as that is available?

Yes it is still visible. Does not seem to be a problem though.

Yes, but should we also stop the gadget driver and print an error
message? Or just return from the isr and neither report nor stop?
