for drd case CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM is definitely not needed.
I'm not sure if we can operate dual-role without CONFIG_USB_OTG.
I was thinking of combining the OTG core functionality (drivers/usb/common/usb-otg.c)
with CONFIG_USB_OTG.

instead of hardcoding bmAttributes field, it must be obtained from the
appropriate data structure that was set by the controller driver
by reading DT and OTG hardware info.

Probably a helper utitily can do the necessary checks and build the
otg descriptor for us.
usb_otg_get_descriptor(c->descriptors);

e.g. for OTG3.0 we have a new flag USB_OTG_RSP, and this helper
can be upgraded in the future.

OK.
