Unfortunately Dell Venue 8 Pro 5000 Series tablets do not have USB
device controller. You only have the xHCI host controller. In fact,
this is the case with basically all new Windows tablets. Microsoft is
simply not interested in USB device mode.

Why they use uAB connector I can only assume is because of the smaller
size then standard-A, and because they are not interested in standards.

So 0f35 is indeed is the xHCI host controller. Baytrail boards that
have the device controller have second USB controller with device id
0f37.
