If is go through the code flow starting from usb_composite_probe the sequence is
usb_composite_probe->usb_gadget_probe_driver->udc_bind_to_driver->
udc_bind_to_driver->usb_gadget_udc_start->fsl_udc_start->usbcmd=RUN
udc_bind_to_driver->usb_gadget_connect->fsl_pullup

The function fsl_pullup make usbcmd=STOP if my fix is not there and if controller 
is stopped we do not get any interrupt.

Wait a minute, are you using OTG. If your VBUS is permanently pulled up, that 
means you are only Gadget(I might miss something) then why you use OTG mode.

What expertly my concern is, probe is not proper place to check VBUS valid.
I think we should wait to hear what Balbi has to say.
