There is another condition to judge if it's a OTG port: the current port
number is equal to the otg port number(bus->otg_port), if not, it will
assume there is another port with OTG, and send a OTG 1.x request to the
connected OTG device.
After OTG 2.0 otg descriptor introduced, I can fix it in host/hub by checking
the OTG version before sending 1.x specific request.

We can use bus->otg_port, if there is no otg port, don't make it match any
port number of your available host ports.
