But what I did was bisect between 5.18.0 (good) and 5.19.0 (bad) then when I got near the culprit (~20 remaining) based on the commit message I tried 0f01017191384e3962fa31520a9fd9846c3d352f "usb: dwc3: Don't switch OTG -> peripheral if extcon is present" (bad) and commit before that (good).

Cool, thanks for checking that. Don't think I have any more
experiments off the top of my head to run. I'll have to go read that
code more. I'll reply in the thread if I have something new to
try/say.
