Yes it sounds like a good solution, it probably doesn't make trouble to
have 7.5K pulldown total in device mode either.  I dunno if Openmoko are
interested to make it but anyone that wants host with external charging
power can hack it up from their spare cable box without opening the
phone, that is miles ahead of where we were a couple of hours ago.

Yes we need to react to seeing the 1A charger ID resistor by deasserting
EN_USBHOST for sure, that is right if it is just the charger or it is
the external power host mode adapter.  We didn't take care about it
until now, I will make a patch.

GOOD!!!
