Hi Sanchayan,
We are using a custom board with vybrid processor,in which we need to configure 
USB0 as host and USB1 as client.

Santhosh

Along with the above
if (init == USB_INIT_DEVICE && index == 1)
        return -ENODEV;

In the ehci-vf USB driver for Vybrid, currently we have two "if" cases as above 
which basically serve the purpose of preventing one of the USB ports from being 
configured as host, which we did like to keep as client. So for us, USB0 is 
client and USB1 is host and the above was put in with that intention to prevent 
USB0 from being configured as host, when usb start is called.
However this is bad for other users out there, sorry about that.

I checked and it seems even without the above, if both ports are configured as 
host with usb start and later dfu is called to used the intended as client for 
upgrade purposes, things still seem to work. Not sure if there are cases where 
this can break which I am missing.

Not being that well versed with USB I wanted to ask is this ok or this is 
completely wrong?
If it is ok, I guess we can go ahead and nuke the above checks? OR will be it 
be a better approach to introduce something like 
board_ehci_hch_init_with_type(int index, enum usb_init_type type) which will be 
a weak function and then have the board specific code hook call it?
