In real OTG, we need enable AVV irq, but for duel role, nobody care/handle,
there are much more resource required for OTG: timers, hnp polling,
otg test device handling... 

with current design, chipidea driver can support real OTG with its own
queue worker, or DRD with Roger's drd work item if config is correct.

But improve something to work on a *wrong* config will make it complicated
and does not make much sense IMO.
