Success! It works fine with a USB-C -> USB-A cable. Run:

-CONFIG_USB_DWC2_HOST=y
+# CONFIG_USB_DWC2_HOST is not set
-# CONFIG_USB_DWC2_DUAL_ROLE is not set
+CONFIG_USB_DWC2_DUAL_ROLE=y

modprobe libcomposite u_ether
mount none -t configfs /mnt
cd /mnt/usb_gadget
mkdir g1
cd g1
mkdir configs/c.1 functions/eem.usb0
ln -s functions/eem.usb0 configs/c.1/
echo fe980000.usb > UDC

Forward a network connection, then:

echo "BOOTPROTO=dhcp" > /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb0
ifup usb0

and you can ssh onto the pi4 and download stuff.

localhost:~ # hdparm -tT /dev/mmcblk1
/dev/mmcblk1:
 Timing cached reads:   1632 MB in  2.00 seconds = 816.32 MB/sec
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid argument
 Timing buffered disk reads: 126 MB in  3.01 seconds =  41.90 MB/sec

I played around with some other programs and it seems like CPU performance has
roughly doubled compared to a 3B+.
Even over X11 forwarding applications run very smoothly.

On my wish list is now to have u-boot use the device tree from the firmware for
its own initialization as well, so that hardcoding of addresses isn't necessary
anymore. That way we wouldn't need a new u-boot-rpi4 flavor and new JeOS
flavors installing it instead of u-boot-rpi3.

Cheers,
Fabian
