Thanks.

After some more experimentation on the A83T/AXP813, it seems this
is pretty standard behavior for the AXP PMICs. If one uses N_VBUSEN
to enable VBUS, the user/system should already know that VBUS is
on or present. The VBUS-related logic in the PMIC, save for the
VBUS status bits, is disconnected in this case.

So it looks like we either enable this workaround for most if not
all of the Allwinner family, or fix this by polling in the power
supply driver itself. This would require polling once every 50ms,
which might be too much work for the system, but is necessary for
VBUS detection to work properly for MUSB. Or we could limit polling
to whenever the drivevbus regulator is enabled. This would involve
creating a reference between the USB power supply and regulator in
the device tree. (There doesn't seem to be a way to fetch a regulator
directly by its device node.) The power supply would then register
a notifier on the regulator for on/off events, and configure polling
accordingly.

Any suggestions?
