If only one interrupt is regisetred in driver, dose still need list the
same interrupt number twice in dtsi?

Sorry, I didn't find a common driver describing the usb-connector. Is
there any driver that I can refer to, specially the way to switch MUSB
controller between host and device mode?

I will put vbus-supply in usb-connector after implement it.
