Yes, if user wants to disable any OTG features, this should have been
done in 'config->otg_caps', if not, 'config->otg_caps' from controller
driver is invalid and making no sense.

I even don't see much benefit of this kind of random order of OTG/HCD/GADGET
registration, anyway OTG register can be done firstly.
HCD and GADGET are both separated drivers, but OTG is newly added
and what we need is just a registration in controller driver.
