This is the correct behavior for an OTG controller. When you unplug a
cable or plug in the B end of a cable, the ID pin floats, indicating
it is a B-Device.

When you plug in an A-cable, which is what your adapter is, it will
ground the pin, meaning A-device.

This is weird. Once the ID pin goes to B, the core should become a
peripheral and this should be reflected in the status registers.

This also seems weird. The connector id status shouldn't go back to A,
assuming you've left the cable unplugged.

Is the controller supposed to work in both peripheral and host modes?

The workaround seems fine, but still, this indicates that something
wrong is going on somwhere.
