Okay, I think this is why I was confused. Thanks for the clarification.
The problem is how people like me who does not know Linux USB too much
get that, considering what the help text of CONFIG_USB_OTG tells people
is just like below.
config USB_OTG
bool "OTG support"
...
help
The most notable feature of USB OTG is support for a
"Dual-Role" device, which can act as either a device
or a host. The initial role is decided by the type of
plug inserted and can be changed later when two dual
role devices talk to each other.
Select this only if your board has Mini-AB/Micro-AB
connector.
So the text tells CONFIG_USB_OTG is there for Dual-Role device support,
while you're saying the support is not the part of CONFIG_USB_OTG. As a
person who never looked at usb code, I'm completely confused here.

Again, the help text of CONFIG_USB_OTG does *not* tell that.
