Gadget connect means loc_conn(1).

If you only talk about these 2 states, yes, loc_conn is ture.

It's not an internal variable, there are OTG state machine
parameters tables(table 7-x) in OTG spec which have clear lists
which are "internal variable", which are "input", which are "output"...
Those APIs are driven directly from OTG spec, easily understood so
code reader can know what's those APIs for. For real OTG, I don't
see the benefit if get rid of it.
