How about this:
Moving usb_otg_register/unregister_hcd to host driver to remove
dependency hcd->otg. And moving usb_otg_get_data to common.c.

Delete the wait queue at usb-otg.c, and if calling usb_otg_get_data
returns NULL, the host/device driver's probe return -EPROBE_DEFER.
When the otg driver is probed successfully, the host/device will be
re-probed again, and usb_otg_register_hcd will be called again.

And let OTG depends on HCD && GADGET, and delete otg_hcd_ops and
otg_gadget_ops. Below build dependency issues can be fixed.
What do you think?
