Yes, that's we doesn't need to change for old platforms, but
we keep our default value as small possibilities, most of current
platforms are only drd platform, it is hard choice.

My original thought was nothing need to add at dts for drd device.

So we will have a separate drd fsm file, and the CONFIG_USB_OTG
and CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM are not needed to be defined, right?

Ok, agree. Then we need to define two usb otg descriptors
for both 1.3 and 2.0, and we need to have two otg descriptor array
at gadget driver. And the code at gadget driver will like below:

static const struct usb_descriptor_header *otg_desc_13[] = {
	(struct usb_descriptor_header *) &(struct usb_otg_descriptor_13){
		.bLength =		sizeof(struct usb_otg_descriptor_13),
		.bDescriptorType =	USB_DT_OTG,

		/*
		 * REVISIT SRP-only hardware is possible, although
		 * it would not be called "OTG" ...
		 */
		.bmAttributes =		USB_OTG_SRP | USB_OTG_HNP,
	},
	NULL,
};

static const struct usb_descriptor_header *otg_desc_20[] = {
	(struct usb_descriptor_header *) &(struct usb_otg_descriptor_20){
		.bLength =		sizeof(struct usb_otg_descriptor_20),
		.bDescriptorType =	USB_DT_OTG,

		/*
		 * REVISIT SRP-only hardware is possible, although
		 * it would not be called "OTG" ...
		 */
		.bmAttributes =		USB_OTG_SRP | USB_OTG_HNP,
		.bcdOTG =               cpu_to_le16(0x0200),
	},
	NULL,
};

During bind process:

	if (gadget_is_otg_13(c->cdev->gadget))
		c->descriptors = otg_desc_13;
	else if (gadget_is_otg_20(c->cdev->gadget))
		c->descriptors = otg_desc_20;

Yes, it is the same we do for usb mode.

Like I mentioned above, it depends on which otg features we would like
to give as default features for dual-role device.

For switching the role through the ID pin devices, we doesn't need any otg
features.
For adp/srp/hnp supported devices, we need (partial) otg features, and
the fsm (hardware or software) are needed.
