None of these drivers are for hardware. They implement a protocol. On the host as well as on the gadget side there are driver for the actual host controllers (EHCI, XHCI, ...) as well as their gadget equivalents. Any of these drivers may or may not use DMA. Neither the assumption that they use DMA or the assumption that they do not use DMA is valid. In fact they may mix it. Your code must be ready to cope with either usage.
