I've tried to why to Peter's mail.

You cannot control the order in systems where all 3 are implemented by separate
hardware modules. We have to consider that they can be registered
in any order and make sure it works.

returning -EPROBE_DEFER in usb_otg_add_gadget_udc()/usb_otg_add_hcd() if OTG
controller driver is not yet probed makes perfect sense and is the way to solve
this dependency issue.

How do you solve the problem when host registers before OTG? I tried to solve it
using the wait_list in usb-otg.c. The other alternative is -EPROBE_DEFER during
usb_otg_add_hcd/udc().
