fine!

that is what the phy-twl4030 should have done, but does not.

would normally be done by twl4030_charger

Yes, it more or less mimics what the charging enable command was doing in 2.6.32 kernels...

So that is a good step forward!

a) we know for (almost) sure now that the problem is not in twl4030_charger
b) it must be in twl4030-phy (which does not handle OTG_EN) and power management (which we already know to be broken)

Great step towards a solution (but we don't know how many steps the ladder has in total :)

I think the next thing I will try is to check/change the status of OTG_EN in twl4030_charger...

Would be a simple workaround :)
