Usb OTG support?

Does this honor 5x have OTG support? I'm thinking of buying it tonight

It was advertised to have OTG but currently it is not working and Huawei knows this. They said that it would be fixed in a patch but so far nothing. If you need OTG now then you won't get it but hopefully they fix it in the future.

According to a reviewer on Amazon:

I cannot get OTG to work even after following the steps recommended by Support (see below). Basically...we need to wait for a patch to fix OTG.

Hello Erik, thank you for contacting Honor US Support, the Honor 5X does support USB OTG. I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with connecting your current devices. One Suggest I have for troubleshooting is to do a our power cycle on your phone while the device is connect. This may allow for the connection to show up. As well there are a few applications on the Play store which you may be able to use to troubleshoot the OTG if the first step does not work. Please note that the 5X has not yet been released yet. It's official release will come on January 31st. At that time we may also send out some updates that will correct you issue.

Is your kernel fully stable? Bugfree? Did you change anything else in kernel besides enable USB-OTG support?
