TrimSlice's USB1 port has two purposes; it either acts as a device port hosting Tegra's USB recovery protocol, or acts as a host port connected to the internal USB->SATA bridge chip, which may in turn be connected to an SSD or HDD. Add the appropriate device tree and board configuration options to enable this port as a host port, and route the port to the SATA bridge using the VBUS GPIO.
Hm, I don't really like to abuse the VBUS GPIO for this function. As the GPIO controlled routing is more a sort of pinmux can't you just add the GPIO enable to pin_mux_usb()?
I don't know, I think it's fine. It's certainly this way in the kernel. And for all I know, this GPIO does actually affect VBUS as well as flipping any mux (and the more I think about that, the more likely it is) although I can't actually know for sure since I don't have the schematics.
If it's really triggering VBUS I'm fine with this, but then the comment in pin_mux_usb() is a bit off.
Sorry, I don't see anything inaccurate about it. What's wrong?
In which way is it "masquerades as a VBUS GPIO"? If it triggers VBUS it _is_ a VBUS GPIO. So the comment should rather state that switching on VBUS also muxes the port to the internal bridge.
