Provide a dual-role device (DRD) state machine.
DRD mode is a reduced functionality OTG mode. In this mode
we don't support SRP, HNP and dynamic role-swap.

In DRD operation, the controller mode (Host or Peripheral)
is decided based on the ID pin status. Once a cable plug (Type-A
or Type-B) is attached the controller selects the state
and doesn't change till the cable in unplugged and a different
cable type is inserted.

As we don't need most of the complex OTG states and OTG timers
we implement a lean DRD state machine in usb-otg.c.
The DRD state machine is only interested in 2 hardware inputs
'id' and 'b_sess_vld'.

   We call that USB device controller (UDC). I'm not sure what you meant here...
   And what about the 2nd arg, 'ops'?

There are 2 data structures representing the Device controller.

struct usb_gadget - represents a usb slave device
struct usb_udc -struct usb_udc - describes one usb device controller

usb_udc is for private use only. usb_otg_register_gadget() takes struct usb_gadget
as argument.

Do you want me to refer to struct usb_gadget as UDC?

   No.

What is wrong with calling it gadget controller?

It's not a controller, it's a piece of software AFAIU. Or is my English just too weak? :-)
