So dr_mode = "otg" _and_ otg-support = 1?

Again wouldn't this involve changes to dts for musb like platforms
supporting full OTG?

Instead we could add a new field saying otg-fsm-type
"otg-hw", "otg-sw", "drd-sw"

If the field is absent it defaults to "otg-hw".
This also means we don't need otg-fsm-support flag.

Now the pseudo-code to decide fsm is

if (dr_mode == "otg" && CONFIG_USB_OTG)
	if (otg-fsm-type == "otg-sw") {
		if (CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM)
			full otg fsm support via sw
		else
			error "CONFIG_USB_OTG_FSM" not set
	} else if (otg-fsm-type == "drd-sw") {
		dual role fsm support
	} else {
		full otg support via hw
	}

	if (otg-fsm-type == "otg
else
	error "CONFIG_USB_OTG" not set

OK. I get it now.

CONFIG_USB_OTG20 is redundant now. Plus I mentioned in the respective thread
that it is not suitable for booting single image on different platforms.

As of now I can see 2 inputs regarding otg-ver
- One comes from otg-ver DT property or platform data.
- Second that may come from OTG controller registers. e.g. It might support
OTG v3.0 but system designer wants to limit to OTG v2.0 via otg-ver.

Controller driver can decide among the 2 and set the appropriate otg version
in the data structure.

I'm the wrong person to ask this. Maybe Felipe/Tony can comment.
Irrespective of whether any dts platforms supports hsn/srp or not
we must assume that till date dr_mode = otg implies full otg support
and we cannot change its meaning.

We can add new fields to indicate dual-role mode which is a new feature.

By OTG core, I meant OTG controller core. At least the dwc3 OTG controller has
register bits to identify if it supports adp/srp/hnp.

But we also need to keep in mind that adp feature can be provided separately even
if the OTG controller core doesn't support it.
