There are 2 things.
1) OTG features supported by hardware. This is the controller's config->otg_caps
2) OTG features needed by system designer. This can be a subset of (1).
This needs to be maintained in the OTG core, based on config->otg_caps and
device tree disable flags.

So we can't use OTG controller config->otg_caps directly.

Agreed.

Correct.

udc_bind_to_driver gets called only when both, udc driver and function driver
are available. Defer probing will have to be done in usb_add_gadget_udc_release().

Agree with you on that. Should I work on implementing -EPROBE_DEFER for
hcd.c and udc-core.c if hcd/udc is meant for otg and OTG controller is not
yet probed?
