Can you please point out the page numbers for me?

What I am seeing on page 1 is:
GPIOAO_5 (called GPIOAO.BIT5) is connected as an INPUT to the USB_OTG
PWREN signal (that's the green box with the label "USB_OTG.SchDoc"
above it).

Below (still on page 1) there's a whole section for
USB_HOST_PWR_SW.SchDoc and USB_HUB_GL852G-OHG.SchDoc.
This box also uses a PWREN signal, but from my understanding it's a
different one:
- PWREN in this area is an OUTPUT on the USB hub
(USB_HUB_GL852G-OHG.SchDoc). This is confirmed by the PWREN signals on
page 14 of the GL852 datasheet: [4]
- Then PWREN is an INPUT for the overcurrent switches (USB_HOST_PWR_SW.SchDoc)
This section does not mention GPIOAO_5 (or GPIOAO.BIT5) at all.

For better illustration I have attached a screenshot with some
annotations from the schematics.
This is how I understand the whole USB setup.
This doesn't mean that I am right though.

Did you also delete the "leds" node from meson8b-odroidc1.dts?

Yes, I think we're now on the same page on this topic
I totally forgot about some of these patches - great that you found
them and added them here for further documentation of this topic!


Best regards,
