Add usb-role-switch property for Tegra210 and Tegra186 platforms. This entry is used by XUSB pad controller driver to register for role changes for OTG/Peripheral capable USB 2 ports.

Doesn't OTG imply peripheral? OTG means it can be either peripheral or host, right? So I think the end of that sentence can be just: "... the port supports OTG."An USB OTG port is capable of both USB host and peripheral operations. An USB peripheral port can only act as an USB peripheral. The micro USB ports found on Jetson TX1/TX2 platforms are micro-AB ports which should implement both host and peripheral capabilities. We say such ports support OTG. The micro USB port found on Jetson Nano is a micro-B port which should implement peripheral capability only. We say such ports support peripheral, rather than OTG.
I the port supports only peripheral mode, why do we need to have a usb-role-switch property? Shouldn't we in that case have a mode property with value "device"? usb-mode-switch is only needed if mode = "otg", isn't it? In all other cases the functionality is fixed (either host or peripheral) and the mode cannot be switched. Thierry
