So you are using  gadget->xyz_support flags to determine if it is a legacy
platform and that's why we have a problem with having disable flags in DT.

This also has a side effect of SRP and HNP being enabled for any platform
even if enable-srp/enable-hnp is not set in DT.
This will be more of a bug than supporting legacy users.

Instead we could have ADP disabled by default for all cases
and expect enable-adp in DT to get it enabled. SRP/HNP could still
be disable flags.

Then your above code reduces to

		if (gadget->adp_support)
 			otg_desc->bmAttributes |= USB_OTG_ADP;
 		if (gadget->hnp_support)
 			otg_desc->bmAttributes |= USB_OTG_HNP;
 		if (gadget->srp_support)
 			otg_desc->bmAttributes |= USB_OTG_SRP;
