I agree with you, roger.
loc_conn action is only needed for peripheral, we can't do real !loc_conn
at host mode. Besides, loc_conn is the output, we need to set/clear it after
state has changed, and current gadget framework already takes well for
connection and disconnection state, so it is better to delete loc_conn
action at otg_fsm->ops, and only keeps it as indicator for OTG FSM
reference.
