Ha, actually that's not true, I just enabled EN_USBHOST, which does
nothing about the CPU peripehral mode for USB right now -- but it does
enable the 15K pulldowns -- and the thing still works as an Ethernet
class device including insertion detection on the remote host.

So if you added a pair of 15K pulldowns to D- and D+ yourself (there are
testpoints), and took care to not enable EN_USBHOST but have the CPU
peripheral in host mode, you should be good to go as an externally
powered host, including charging, and the same setup can work on at
least some hosts as a device, despite we pull down by 7.5K when the host
pulldowns get in on the game as well.
