Trying the old "echo host > /sys/.../musb_hdrc/mode" had the same result. Whatever you write, it is overwritten with "b_idle"...
That's very, very bad news. Any comment from Nokians? Being able to connect a usb stick has been a life saver to me several times.

EDIT: please Committee members, Alan, Tim, Jaffa, whoever, go ask why it behaves this way and whether there's a hack to circumvent the problem. That's really a regression. I can understand Nokia does not support something, but unfortunately this seems more like a prohibition...
