Thanks very much for your suggestion, and apologies in the delay in response.

I tried to study your suggestion and the code a little bit more, and
while I liked your idea quite a bit, I also realised that for the case
of letting the USB charger use cases, in gadget framework, there
doesn't seem to be a way to get the USB_EVENT_CHARGER, since charger
would likely not be a gadget.

In this case, how'd we be able to enable / disable wakeup_source for
charger events?

If indeed we can't handle charger events in the way suggested by you,
may I propose the following:

- implement this in USB-phy as proposed in Kiran's original patch,
- keep it disabled by default, and add a module param to enable/disable it
- for no vbus case, use another event (USB_EVENT_ENUMERATED /
USB_EVENT_NONE? ) to identify connect / disconnect?
(OR, maybe don't do anything for such cases, since most likely
the chipidea kind of implementations would handle it themselves?)

Of course these are based on my limited reading of the USB code, so
I'd be grateful if you'd let me know of any obvious gaps in my
understanding!
