No it does not. What he actually is saying is that Linux kernel support OTG and maybe also the SoC but that does NOT mean the HW is fully enabled for it. Remember N900 and N9 it also has a SoC who support USB hostmode. But as we see you still can enable it on N9 cause of the battery managment chip on N9 if I remember correct. It could be similar issues on the Jolla device. Summary is he does not confirm it
I will vote AMD for president next time if I'm having any shares during next meeting.
