The twl4030 has nothing to do with USB.
The chip doing USB is the http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_isp1707 - it is unclear if the statement in that page about rework is accurate - though it was allegedly made by someone who had schematics - the datasheets of similar chips do not seem to support it.

It seems likely that the statement 'you need to rework to get USB host' seems to only be true for devices with unchangable kernels that cannot be told to ignore the setting.
