When booting with Device Tree, the current default boot configuration table option, the request to boot via 'host mode' comes from the 'dr_mode' property. A property of the same name can be used inside ACPI tables too. However it is missing from the SDM845's ACPI tables so we have to supply this information using Platform Device Properties instead. This does not change the behaviour of any currently supported devices. The property is only set on ACPI enabled platforms, thus for H/W booting DT, unless a 'dr_mode' property is present, the default is still OTG (On-The-Go) as per [0]. Any new ACPI devices added will also be able to over-ride this implementation by providing a 'dr_mode' property in their ACPI tables. In cases where 'dr_mode' is omitted from the tables AND 'host mode' should not be the default (very unlikely), then we will have to add some way of choosing between them at run time - most likely by ACPI HID.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
